Towcar
Hi all
I have only owned my ZT CDTI for around a month now and have not towed with it. I have just bought a caravan and was wondering what you guys have experienced whilst towing with your 75s. The fully laden weight of the van is 1200kg. Thanks Paul |

You may also need towing mirrors. These were specialy made for our cars and a number of members use them including me. Excellent fit once and then slide on and off, simple. See here:-

I pull an 18' sterling eccles at around 1350kg, pulls no probs with good mpg, The only thing I would advise is a roverron synergy 2, Having used the same car without anything altered and then with a ron box and a EGR valve the difference was just staggering, All in all a good comfortable well able towing vehicle. Happy holidays.

mirrors went for £18.+ Did you win them? That was a cheap buy.
