and for info we just got rid of the sorrento now proud owners of a skoda octavia 2.0 140bhp

I have just bought a Bailey Pageant and i have got a Vectra hatchback 1.9 CDti 150 ps and it has no problems towing the van. The power is there if you need it but the fuel consumption is still around 40mpg on a motorway run. Very stable when towing, like yourself i was a bit hesitant on how the car would perform but  had no problems at all.

hi i am also looking at the vectra 1.9tdci exclusive 150bhp but worried wont have enough power to pull 6 berth  bailey bretagne and all the bits and bobs that go in it. i have a 4x4 at the moment but need to downsize.

just worried will make wrong move and car will struggle

HELP

The diesel Vectra that you're looking at is a very stable tow car with plenty of power - just stay within the weight and loading limits and you shouldn't have any problems.

I used to tow a 1500Kg MTPLM van with a 2.2 Diesel Vectra SRi (120BHP) and that was quite happy and stable towing close to the manufacturers max tow - you'll have the benefit of another 30BHP to play with.
