Towing with a disco

How do you find the Disco for towing Tim? I may have been spoilt with the Touareg because in the TD5 I am really finding it disconserting even at 60mph if you even attempt to go over 60 then it gets quite hairy with the back end rocking about. In the Touraeg I hardly even notived the trailer was there

With the same trailer/setup? That sounds very od. Before I got this Disco I had another for a couple of years and towed lots of different things with that and only ever had trouble when the trailer/load wasn't set up right. Perhaps try moving the axle back a little to make it more stable.

You appear to have parked on a very steep hill (and your camera lens could do with a wipe as well!)

Was the camera turned through 90 to enable us to appreciate the block paving or the grey sky?

Thought it was about time I posted a pic of the boat behind my new(to me) car.

Seeing these images has reminded me one of the jobs for this winter is to get the trailer wheels blasted and repainted.
Plus that I need to remove the roof basket and spots from the car before doing too many miles.
