3 weeks ago because I know the road, it took it up Sutton bank, only went to second for the tight left turn half way up, and yes I know its not a caravan route and would not advise mere mortals to try it.

Your Golf being the 110 or 140 bhp will tow the van no problem

You will be surprised to know I have been up and down Sutton bank more time than you have had hot dinners, up to 6 times a day, from Wombleton to Thirsk, from the top down to Helmsley you can knock the car into neutral and it will make it all the way into Helmsley square, on tick over

Knocking the car into neutral actually uses more fuel than leaving it in gear with your foot off the accelerator as this shuts off the fuel to the engine, in neutral the engine is ticking over thus using fuel.So what is the point? 

Looking at the cars computer will show this.
