Tdi's don't have ABS ;)

The book says 4000kg for 110,s and 130's with coupled brakes.

Whether that is actually legal anywhere in Oz though as it would depend on GCM ?

That right Ricky they don't have ABS, but if they did the aggregate trailer mass would be 3500Kg

My 95 130 (Non ABS) is rated for 4000Kg as is the Haymen Reece tow bar, but as others have said it's limited to 120Kg ball weight.

I can't remember any GTW spec so I would assume it's 7500Kg, Go the Tdi:D and all on a car licence:o

You would get good at low to high range shifts.

all landrovers that are older than 95 and are not a discovery or freelander

Ahh but my 99 Td5 130 is also 4t. Pintle and hook combination is required on all above 3.5t GCM is 7t.

It all changed not long after this.

Oh dear. Now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty. Does your TD5 have ABS Colonel?

No 130 has ABS. In fact, any vehicle fitted with Heavy Duty suspension from factory won't have it either.

Low to high range shifts are the norm just towing 2000kg with a stock Tdi !

No mate - my 95 Disco 1 has a rated 4 tonn tow capacity from the factory (per the handbook) and I have a HR bar to suit - marked at 4,000kg. It has towed up to 3.75 tonns without resorting to low range...but its a V8:D

Cheers

My old Stage 1 has a 4000 kg towing capacity
You will just need a lot more courage than me to stop it though.
Drum Brakes and 4000 kg I think not.
