i think it may be to heavey for the car if trailer is say 900kg wich i doubt it is then the car it will be for a guess to much for a 2ltr grand vitara turbo diesel i can get a flight over for around £22 to glasgow with easy jet then poss drop it on a stena ferry i also need a second car for when helen passes her driving test so she can have the 4x4 and i will have the volvo also jim will that one convert to lpg ok do you recon

900kg? naaah a volvo is heavyer than that, your looking at around 1500kg!

We towed a 240 estate (1400kg?) on a trailer (800kg?) behind a 740 Turbo (1400kg?), and we got home in one piece...

If it's got test, I'd drive it. Much easier and safer than towing.

cheers

Jim760 · Nov 24th, 2008, 01:42

driving it would be ok but NOT on them rubbers, its too close to the max load for the tyres to even consider letting someone drive it any good distance. and driving it at all, with the amount of stuff in it,...if you had to brake hard.. could be a bit dodgy to say the least

foggyjames · Nov 24th, 2008, 01:54

Ok...I'll refine my statement to..."if it has test and is safe to be on the road"

What's in it which is so lethal? It sounds like you're going to need a large tow vehicle (Range Rover?) and huge trailer to tow it safely.

I'll ask a couple of people if they're interested...

cheers
