  A Grand Monday: Peugeot 405 TD LX Estate 9 Oct 2017 (News)
  .  It has been in the same family for 21 years, has always been kept garaged, and even has a tow bar - making it the ideal workhorse for pulling a classic Nineties caravan. Throw in a 12-month MoT, a new clutch and a new cambelt fitted last year and it looks like a fantastic proposition for reliable classic family motoring.

  A Grand Monday: Volvo 940 Wentworth 10 Apr 2017 (News)
  The mileage of 173,000 isn't anything to worry about - Volvos of this era are good for 250k easily, if not more - and the MoT history checks out well, with no past advisories for anything other than consumable components and suspension bushes. It also comes with a tow bar and working electrics, making it the perfect family classic. In addition, the owner has renewed the rear boot struts - one of the few weak points of the 940 estate. It has a temperamental fuel gauge and occasional issues with the instrument pack, which we know to be a very common problem with this era of Volvo, usually caused by corroded solder joints on the back of the visual display.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 11-4-2015 11 Apr 2015 (News)
  I have seen ‘A’ frames for sale at about £180. Would you use on of these? I'd be towing, with my Skoda Superb, for about 900 miles over a weekend. As always I look forward to hearing your words of wisdom. CF, Scotland I wouldn't tow a classic with an A frame for that sort of distance because firstly you never know when a wheel bearing of an old car will give out and secondly, if you're towing it on an A frame, you won't hear it give out.

  Used Pick-Up Buying Guide: Nissan Navara 2005-2016 16 Jun 2025 (News)
  With plenty sold you won’t be short of choice, and with many used as family cars rather than working vehicles even at this price point you can afford to be picky regarding condition. Those used commercially will inevitably have led a tougher life, but the Navara’s towing capability is a draw for many buyers, so ask what it’s towed if there’s a towbar fitted. Around the £5000 mark you’ll be spoilt for choice, so bargain hard and look for the lowest miles and best maintained.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day nine 6 Jun 2013 (News)
  It has suffered from dust problems and a loss of power, but then they are not alone in that – the fine talcum powder like dust that blows in everywhere is effecting electrics and fuel systems. The second MG, the little TC of Peter Zernial, got stuck in the sand today and required a tow but still holds down 15th. There are just two more nights of camping ahead, before the teams reach the Russian border.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day six 3 Jun 2013 (News)
  Here the yellow Volvo of Kerry and Kevin Finn and the red Volkswagen Beetle of John and Brett Layzell immediately became bogged down, and required the tug of tow ropes from Sweeps Owen and Jamie Turner, and Simon Ayris, who also got bogged in the claggy quagmire. It was a bad day for the white VW Beetle of Garrick Staples and Heydon Burville, who rolled the car, and rolled out of the event.

  Report: Peking to Paris, day 25 21 Jun 2013 (News)
  Today has seen a lot of activity at the local Bentley dealership here in Kiev, we saw no less than four Bentleys, including the Japanese R-Type still awaiting delivery of the essential head-gasket, with Bill and Mark of car 15 working furiously on getting the rebuilt engine of the Model A Ford 'flyer' running again. One of the media-Toyotas was put to good use in towing the Ford up and down the yard, it ran briefly but clearly there were timing issues and after a few coughs, bangs and back-fires, the engine called it a day. Bill’s head was under the bonnet when we left… oil all over the immaculate floor, water pouring out from somewhere, and the rest of the competitors not quite used to a technique that calls for big hammers sliding around on a floor as slippery as an ice-rink.
