I have the 2.0 Tdci 180hp (Vignale) model with which I tow an Xplore 524, which is seldom particularly laden, in fact most of the time I don't even have anything other than a small 12V battery for emergency purposes such as starting the fridge, and one 6kg and a 4Kg standby gas bottle. Tyre pressures are always maintained at the correct value as recommended. Problem I have is quite a "wallowy" ride when car is lightly loaded and 2 people on board, for example when going away for just a few days, no awning or other paraphernalia. When fully laded with 4 adults, awning, luggage etc etc it is way better. Van has always been dead level when hitched up, towbar has no means of adjustment as it's an automatic factory fitted one. The ride is stable it's just the up and down oscillation that is a bit uncomfortable on uneven, generally smaller roads.
Wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and fitted anything to stiffen things up? Not sure if there are stiffer aftermarket rear springs but this would probably make the car quite uncomfortable when solo unless there are any adjustable options available? To be honest the car is a bit soft suspension wise at the best of times even solo so might not be too bad if springs were uprated? Any idea's (apart from changing car of course!)?
