Towing advice for Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4 petrol

your Kuga is probably the best car you've had ... A brave man to admit to having owned diseasal Maxi! 😉😉

There is no such car as a Rover Maxi (Austin yes) and the Maxi never had a diesel option. Go to ARonline for a wealth of info on Austin, Nuffeield, BMC, BMH, BL, Austin Rover, MGRover.....

I did wonder about a diseasal Maxi .... 🤔

The Farina cars (A60/Oxford) had a B series based 1500cc diesel option in some markets as had the Marina/Ital in Portugal and elsewhere but not the UK. The land crab 1800/2200 didn’t have a diesel option albeit i think there are one or two conversions around. The BL diesel effort started in earnest with the Meastro/Montego, Rover SD1 and Range Rover. 

I had a Austin Maxi, I think it had an 1850 Petrol Engine. Worst car I have ever had. No good to drive and rubbish to tow with. I can't even remember how many clutches it had in 2 years. It was a company car and changed after 2 years.....good riddance.BL rubbish.

It had either a 1500 or 1750cc engine. Unfortunately the Maxi was a great idea ahead of its time but hampered by a rushed and underfunded development programme, questionable ‘styling’ compromised by having to use the land-crab doors and usual BMC/BL production line antics. By the time the Mk3 came along it was a half decent car. 

The only really good petrol tow car i have had was my Rover 100,the only problem i had that was never really sorted was the Overdrive solenoid kept burning out after about 1500 miles ,i always carried a spare

I think it's a mistype. I had a diseased Maxi!

My brother was given a 1750 Maxi .... it wasn't such a bad car to drive. As Flatcoat says ahead of its time ... 5 speed  hatchback. They just rotted for fun.

I'm sure it had more than 5 gears. You just couldn't find them.
