Thanks for all your help gentlemen. I'm going to have a few days with much that I've learnt and understood better in the hope that my fantasies subside. Will report back later.

mine rolls back on a slope too , remember its a big heavy car and the effort needed to hold it on the clutch of an auto box would probably make it runaway on the flat.

Hi Criky, just collected a big flatbed trailer this afternoon (5mtr flatbed) and using the 3rd gear lu approach in hilly countryside, mine towed this big trailer (about 8mtrs overall) without any issues at all.
