    Depends whether you get caught :wink:

    I have seen series 3's towing loaded car trailers, so they are obviously up to it. Can't help with the legalities however, sorry. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Thanks I have thought of that but as I am near Goulburn NSW it is hard to dodge the law.

    Probably more than the brakes can handle 8O

    Even normally they are crap.

    I know that you can't tow as much as the vehicle weights, so it would be under the 2.7T GVM of my LWB S3.

    Have you had a look in the worshop manual in the download page?? first chapter states it somewhere i'm sure.
