Hi everyone,
Having been told our wheel bearings had gone & that it would be ok to tow the caravan to the south of france & back (just turn the radio up they said) we've just been told our rear diff has gone (quite common apparently) & to replace it will be quite a few pennies so we thought we'd look into changing the car instead.
We looked at the match the caravan to car section & the cars that would tow our van have mostly disappeared since we bought our caravan. (coachman pastiche 530/4 2007)
We are pulling with a freelander at the moment as that easily tows the van (sometimes my husband forgets the van is on the back). But looking at the list now the only landrovers that will pull the van are disco's or range rover sports. Where have all the others gone??? i.e defenders, freelanders, jaguars, kia, bmw's, a few Audis etc these all used to be ok to tow but have now disappeared leaving us uncertain now what to go for.
If a defender won't pull it anymore what will??? I think someone had better tell the British army that their vehicles won't pull a skin off a rice pudding.
Any advice or recommendations? or can someone point out if I've done something wrong please.
