No you can't tow an auto 100 miles on an A frame. You can tow most autos 30 miles at 30mph.

If it is an unbraked A frame you can tow it to the nearest place of safety only.

connecting the towed vehicle by an A frame makes it a trailer.

Wouldn't recommend towing it that distance unless you're happy with changing the transmission too..

Not sure about the tax - recent budget debacle has left me none-the-wiser!

Another thing to consider - if changing from v6 to TD4 will that have log book implications - could be problematic for insurance/tax in future. I'm sure others will have been through this before so there maybe some more info here on the forums.

At present a 51 plate the tax will be the same as a 1.8 (£205?) but it is one of the vehicles that would have been bumped into a higher tav band. Who knows if that has just been postponed, or dropped. TD4 auto is in the same situation.
