O/H says it could be very under powered with it been the none turbo. You would be better off looking for a turbo version or another tow car that suits your needs better there are plenty of good tow cars out there and you might find a good one with a tow bar already fitted

I pull a Conway Challenger with a Peugeot Partner 1.9 non turbo diesel. Tow to south of France every year, no problem.

Hi undertaker,
welcome to the site. Going off the weights you quote -
(EX WORKS     675 CARRYING CAP225
MAX GROSSWEIGHT 900KG MY CARS WEIGHT IS 1065KG)
- you will be within the 85% recommended maximum - this comes out at 905 Kg, so as long as you don't load more than 230 Kg into the van, that side of it is OK. As to pulling power, I have a 2.0 litre petrol car which pulls a similar load OK, and diesel is reputedly somewhat better than petrol (there are several factors involved), so it should cope. Somebody with diesel experience will probably be able to advise you more.

I'm not liking your screen name  scaring me

However, I have a turbo diesel peugeot 306 and to be honest I dont find it in anyway more powerful than my last non turbo diesel. In fact it simply eats MORE diesel...

Welcome!
