3 ton would let me tow my comp Rangy with it, 3.5 ton would make more sense and match the rest of the land rover towing capacities ( def, disco,RR etc)Quote:

Original owner's handbook says 4000 kg for my RRC. Also recently acquired a genuine LR towbar for it which has 4000 kg on the plate.Quote:

Could've fitted a 4 on instead then? It would do it...
Yep I thought about that after I'd done it.Quote:

However once it got to the pits on the trailer this morning, our old friend Lucas decided to play his usual tricks. A side light and a brake a brake light wouldn't work and the engine was only running on about 6 cylinders. Apparently they don't like ripped seats either ( they said I could swap it for one in my Defender if everything else was ok) They have given everything else a clean bill of health.
While the chap was doing the inspection another guy came over and said, I had one of these last week, just check the rims aren`t rubbing on the calliper :D. I had a bit of a chat with him about Stuees, and he had nothing but praise for the work Stu has done to his.
I explained mine was a little bit more straight from the battle field :p
Just got to sort the electrics and should be good for a retest.
Has any one got any paper work or documentation regarding the GVM. They reckon all the info they found shows the 101 as a 1 tonner, so have listed the aggregate as 2840kg ( tare on the weighbridge this morn was 1840kg)
Said they would up it if I can show documentation.
All in all not too disappointed.
