Towing suggestions - Marcus Webb
I currently own a ford sierra 2.o lt injection which I use to tow my dandy trailer tent (aprox 300kg). The sierra is a super tow car but is now looking tatty and I am thinking of a change. Does any have any advise as I'm thinking about trying an automatic, eg honda concerto 1.6 or mitsubishi lancer 1.6/1.8.
Will I hit any gearbox problems even if I fit an extra gearbox cooler.

At 300kg I wouldn't think you'd need to fit additional gearbox cooling, but check manufacturer's recommendations.

I've towed various caravans (850 - 1340 kg) with assorted auto boxes from Citroen BXs, VW Golfs, Citroen XMs and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Never any overheating problems, even in deepest France climbing alps. Don't have any experience of either of your choices I'm afraid.
