Hi Weeck, we have the same van but we tow with the 75kg noseweight and find the combination works well, most cars have a towball weight of 75kg and would be able to cope with the weight,
The only thing we changed on the car was to fit spring assistors as the omega saloon has a very long overhang behind the rear wheels.
we also have a mover on the van when fitted it only made 3kg difference to the noseweight.
Hope this helps.

Whats the mtplm of your van? as I understand it your noseweight needs to be at least 4% of this figure, which may be why you cant achieve the noseweight you want.

Hi
where is your battery? I ask because I found that it takes a few seconds to remove and because it is at the front of my van it reduces my nose weight by around 18kg. It takes little room in the car boot.
good luck
Richard

I thought the 2004-2006 model CRV had a max noseweight of 65 kilos.

The Viceroy I am aware of has an MTPLM in excess of 1400kg, and cannot be legally towed with a noseweight of 50kg.

Your minimum legal noseweight is 4% of the caravan weight or 25kg whichever is higher. That means a car with a 50kg nose weight limit can only legally tow 1250kg.
You may have been given an old car handbook.
