Your not even supossed to tow with a two, there not designed for it.

says Who?

so long as the caravan is within the weight regulations for the size of car then its perfectly OK (there is a MK1 club member who tows a caravan with his SC MK1)
I doubt very much that the owner of this car pulls a caravan permanently so for the rest of the time he has a top car, makes sense to me

what makes less sense to me is the fat old gits who drive huge 4X4s 52 weeks of the year on the basis that they need them to tow their caravan for their two week annual holiday

Actually my owners manual says explicitly that the car cannot be used for towing... But what those guys know?

is that a Portugese manual are the regs different there than here in the UK?

BS (British standard) tow bars are available the guys that make these know the regulations

but then sold as a genuine item a tow bar kit!!

Really don't know if there is any difference in regulations or even if there are regulations (there must be something of course).

Maybe they thought that it would be ok after all to lift the wheels of the ground now and then...

Some almost do it the pod, so if you don't have the power... a caravan will do...


Just messing about... Now honestly, had no idea those were sold my Toyota. Seams odd...

[bowmont]

I think that's for the Mk1, although I understand the Rev5 mk2 also has a towing rating.

I have seen a Mk2 towing a jet Ski... wish you had took a pic of it towing a caravan tho!

[limey]

my t-bar's got a towbar,it came off one that used to tow a jet ski.
its only on mine so i can put a bike carrier on the r'send though. tow bar mount was the only way. it catches on kurbs when you reverse though doesnt look too bad with the cover on the ball either.........................................yeah ok, it looks pants

[SevenR]

Ha, Ha, Ha!!!! I'd love to have seen that!!!

[chrisE]

Iirc it was a grey-haired oldish looking guy driving. Probably an MR2DC member.
