• Jaguar X Type - Going into limp mode 20 Sep 2016 (Forum)
  The same thing occured again while towing a caravan,this time it happened three times in a few miles. I got home without anymore problem by keeping down to 50mph or good fortune. Never had this problem while driving without the caravan.

  I recently bought a Roomster with a factory fitted towbar, which is not actually fitted but removable. To fit it involves unlocking it and I simply - despite...
• suburu legacy - problems with suburu legacy 23 May 2011 (Forum)
    Without any warning could not change gear when driving, dealers said there was no lining on the clutch and asked what I towed - I said nothing but a wheelie bin. New clutch fitted and after 4 weeks, this went with no warning.  2 clutches in 4 months and 3000 miles! All suburu UK said was " excessive towing"  while the dealer asked if I drove with my foot on the clutch.

• VW Golf MK3 no spark at HT leads 6 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Ladies and Gents, My 1995 Golf 1.8GL, decided to cut out the other day when I was driving through a set of roadworks and I had to get a tow to a local garage. Whilst I was waiting for the tow truck, I took off one of the HT leads and held it close to the engine to see if I had a spark whilst my wife tried the ignition. There was no spark.

  This means they both have a remarkably stiff body shell, vibration and road noise are reduced, and towing capacity and crash resistance are far better than LADDER FRAME rivals." What do you think? -- Espada III - well if you have a family and need a Lamborghini, what else do you drive?
• Bicycle Racks 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  I have a Toyota Avensis hatchback and want to transport 2 adult and one child's bikes. I have seen racks on the backs of cars but aren't these usually mounted on a tow bar? My car does not have a tow bar and I would prefer not to have one. Is it possible to buy a rack for the back of a hatchback? I am a bit concerned that a rooftop rack would be very noisy. Does anyone have any views on the best way to transport.
• Self drive car transporter - help! 25 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Unfortunately it has no MoT and only a week's tax, so it needs to be moved quickly, and not under its own power. I think, on balance, I'd prefer to drive a 3.5 tonne Transit than tow a trailer, although as my car has a tow hitch, I could do either, assuming my standard car licence is valid. So, does anyone know a company that could rent me a car transporter, whether a van or a trailer, ideally one that I could pick up in the London area.
• High-quality diesel estate 8 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  A friend intends to rationalize his ownership of several vehicles by selling them and buying one durable, comfortable, used estate car. Apart from quality and comfort, his main concern is to find something suitable for towing his vintage boat. He was leaning towards a Mercedes-Benz E300 TD or the like, but has seen cautionary comments from HJ and others about the impact of towing on these vehicles, especially horse boxes.
• Peugeot 5008 - Broken injector holders after new injectors 31 Aug 2019 (Forum)
  Last year (in August) I had to let all 4 injectors replaced after they got faulty in a Bosch car service here in Belgium. After couple of months, I got smoke in the engine area with bumpy engine. I towed the car to the same service and they fixed it under warranty (don't know the details but they didn't change any part.). After exactly 1 year, 2 weeks ago, I got the same issue and towed the car again.
• Hyundai Santa Fe - Hyundai Santa Fe autobox failure 11 Aug 2015 (Forum)
   It's £216 to send off to the specialist, which is a no-brainer given the alternative of just saying yes to a new one at £5000, but can anyone provide advice? - is an autobox failure common on these models (I hadn't heard of one)? car has a tow bar, so might have done some heavy towing before I owned it, but even so... - is £5000 a reasonable replacement cost? - do main dealers just rip you off - is there a good chance that the specialist will find a cheaper repair?
• Car towed for no tax just after I bought it. 14 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  I recently bought a car and as soon as I bought it I got fully comprehensive insurance on it. It has a current MOT but doesn't have tax. It was today towed away and impounded for the no tax. However, the DVLA still don't have it in my name as they say it can take 4-6 weeks to process and that's if the guy I bought the car from sent it off straight away.

• Citroen C6 - Tow-car par excellence 12 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  After overtaking a line of trucks I pulled in and settled back to 85 and let him past. Up he steamed and it emerged that he was a Dutch registered Citroen C6 towing a substantial caravan. I tailed along behind him for a while and he was cruising at 95mph, occasionally edging over the ton. I settled back to my 85mph cruise and let him get on with it. I have to say that all the time I saw him he appeared smooth and steady as a rock, even when entering the bow wave of the trucks he overtook.
