got these details from the caravan club web site
the Club advises that a Ford Galaxy LX 2.0 TDCi 140 PS (2007) can, with warnings, tow a Lunar Lexon 640 (2006)
This outfit combination could be a match. Kerbweight ratio: 89%
The caravan's laden weight is close to the car's kerb weight, increasing the risk of stability concerns. This outfit should not be driven by novice towers, and does not meet Club guidelines. Note that a small increase in ratio (to perhaps 90%) is acceptable if all other criteria are passed.
This outfit combination is a good match. Towing limit ratio: 94%
The caravan's laden weight is within the car's stated towing limit, and therefore meets legal limitations.
This outfit combination is a good match. Gross train weight ratio: 98%
The sum of the car and caravan’s fully laden weights is within the car’s gross train weight. This outfit can therefore be used legally with both the car and the caravan fully laden.
This outfit combination could be a match. Nose weight ratio: 125%
If car nose weight is listed as ‘unknown’, then check with the retailer, maker or in the handbook that the car’s nose weight is sufficient. If a nose weight figure is listed, it may be hard to load the caravan (especially a twin axle) to give acceptable car and adequate caravan nose weight. Aim for 5-7% of the caravan’s actual laden weight without overloading the car or the caravan’s front axle/tyres.
This outfit combination could be a match. BHP per ton : 38
The car's engine power is quite low to tow this caravan. It may be sluggish and uncomfortable on hills or at junctions.
B+E Licence required
The maximum combined weight of this car and caravan car gross vehicle weight + caravan MTPLM) are over 3500kg, which means you need to have a category B+E driving licence. If you obtained your standard car driving licence before 1st January 1997, you already have this – if not you will need to take a B+E test to legally drive this outfit.
