Small but perfectly formed. Maybe snuggle up with the horse?Ours is only a small living of 2m x 2m
Ooppsss need to mention the horse gets treated better and has 2m x 4m to stretch out in
Glad to hear you are getting tooled up they will get used. But plenty of help here when you need it.

Yer mistaken there. I've towed several P38's, tratters and a disco. All of them were sh*te.Wot u eggspect its a freelander!
They can't tow shyte!
Thank you for the information. The VCU is fine and the tyres are all good and inflated properly and to the same pressure. I'm hoping it's a perished hose causing loss of turbo power. I'm hoping it's not a dodgy clutch. I'll go down to get diagnostics done and see what that throws up. I'll do some simple clutch tests tomorrow to see if it's slipping.
Sure its not the clutch - surely driver would have noticed that car and van going nowhere but the engine was revving its nuts off.
Clutch slip is when the clutch slips because it's worn. When yer drive it normally power is passed though the clutch. what goes in comes out. If yer make the Freelander work harder by towing something (like a snail house) or ask it to drive at high speed, then the clutch may not pass all the power because it's worn. Hence yer get loss of power because it slips. Not everything going it comes out. Yer normally get a burning smell if the clutch is slipping.
Is that Mrs Grumpy in the dry barn behind you?

)Thank you Hippo! I'll check the hoses tomorrow, check pressures and any obvious damage. I'll try to keep my sausage fingers out of the way. Got a few spare if all goes wrong
Everything you need thenDon’t worry we have our luxury to for the size
2 bunks, cooker,fridge and toilet. Almost enough room to swing a cat (if it has a short tail

Yes and no - its the ablution block. Not the best or most polite place to loiter - but needs must!
This car is new to the OP and there is something, maybe quite minor, wrong with this car's motor. Don't take it in isolation. I just did a search in the Freelander section for "td4 caravan". There are various problems, as you would expect in any forum for any vehicle, but there are a lot of people more than happy with their TD4's capability pulling a shed.Well I've towed a 2 berth caravan this year with a F1 v6 and its hard work-I was thinking of changing to a F1 diesel auto but now I'm having second thoughts
Have you done the one wheel up test to check it?
Are all the tyres identical, same make, same type, with least worn on the rear?
Replace all the vac pipes, as they are known to perish.
The V6 is fine for towing, just as good as the TD4. The only thing you need to remember is keep the engine revs up. The KV6 produces maximum torque at 4,000 Rpm, so it needs to revved, to get the best out of it.
Thank you Nodge. One wheel up test already done, tyres are identical size, make, inflated. I'll have a look at the hoses later today and take it from the there.
