I'm of the thought that the T2000 is much wider at the rear end and IRS so the tow bar may need much modification.<br>
SILVERY?

I doubt it. The dolly one goes from the towball, straight towards the front of the car and then has a t-piece across the boot floor. If you can picture that. I'll give you the number of the guy who is buying it. He might not want it anymore.

I'm assuming you want it to ferry Adam's bitz around & not tow anything substantial? By the way, a tow bar for a Sprint isn't a very good swap! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Could be useful during the rain at Malvern though. Are you two coming?

Not sure yet.<br>
<br>
So 810 kilo shouldn't be a problem? Manual says 762 kilo for the 1300, 1500 and 1850 for a braked trailor...

I think that`s the least of your worries.<br>
<br>
have a look at this.<br>
<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/Motoring/Drive ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--><br>
<br>
I think you`ll find that you`ll be over the weight limit for your licence, reson I say it is because my sister tows a horse box on the back of her discovery, she had to do an extra driving test because she passed her test after 01/01/97.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Sprint not being upto the job, too highly geared, overheating etc. you no what I mean.

Look it up yourself! And what I read to you (although it seems it only applies to a trailor not a caravan now) is that it needs to weigh less than 750kg and you bought an 810 kilo van the next day!
