I've had ongoing issues with my renault megane sport tourer, it's been in the dealer every month for the past 2 years, i've missed a few chances to go away this year already due to this, thankful it didnt break with the caravan on the back!. The car has now been rejected and sent back, so i'm ordering a new car this week, possibly a volvo s40 or v50. That will take ages to be built (Around october im told), I'm gutted im without a tow car :(... Im sorely tempted to buy something cheapish to tow the van with while im waiting for my new car, really don't want to miss this season!.

Good idea.get yourself an old mondeo with a towbar already fitted or something like that.As old as it may be,it will probably be more reliable than the megane you're getting shut of.

Yeah summer was a couple of days last week. We had a heatwave and everything!

I'd just pick something up for the rest of the year.

My friend got a 1996 Pug 405 Estate DT with a towbar for £300 and a years MOT to get them through the summer.

Yeah gonna look for something thats cheap enough that I can sell on when my car's arrived or not too much of a loss if it breaks.

There's pleanty of camping season left!, March - October for me :).

We go away almost every weekend, fri night's then come back late sunday, it's really annoying not being able to tow with the hire car!.

P.S. A lot of the older tow cars seem to have a low braked towing weight, i've looked the 405's/406's, older volvo s40.
