Well done mate.
Now you've done it twice you must be getting good at it.
Kneeling in an engine bay, sounds painful.
At least it's so clean there will be no dirt on the knees of your jeans!!
Isn't it just!What dimwit came up with the idea of connecting up to the servo
car on it which weighs more & they still use the trailer brakes
Its always great to have us lot to help out.
You should be a rep for them!I had my dewalt troosers wiv knee pads in em they are a god send
Just looked into the legalities of using a dolly. Can only be used to recover a broken down vehicle.@Stanleysteamer Trailers are stupid money for decent ones how much do you really want to
spend.
new one on gbay for 3k.....CAR-TRAILER-2700-KILO-14-ft-7 Ft meters quality trailer new 2022 | eBay
Thought about a tow dolly...much cheaper. I know where theres one in a barn
Unsure if you can use a dolly in France.Cheers, Mate!
Just bookmarked it. That's a bit cheaper than the ones I have been looking at.
I was trying to avoid beavertails, and hadn't really thought about a towing dolly, don't know if that would be a good idea for a nearly 600 mile trip. but thinking about it, I don't really know why not! You can tell I have only rarely towed a car before, on a trailer except for the short distance to an MOT station to get a kit car registered. And that belonged to a mate, single axle and again a Metro on another mates trailer from Weymouth to my place. so far more experience towing the box trailer, which at the end of the day is more difficult both to load and to tow.
We have also thought about one of those long distance A-frame things, but they have now got to be connected to the brakes and vacuum supplied to the system. Even though it doesn't need it. Won't go into detail now but this ought, basically, to be an easy thing to do, connecting into the towed cars braking system mechanically but some idiot decided it had to be able to use the servo, despite the fact that system supplies easily enough pressure to the pedal even without the servo. and there is the business of making holes in the bodywork or through the grille etc. Can't see us having time to do this now.
I'll deffo look into using a dolly, it might actooly be the answer.
Thanks again mate for making me think out of the box!!
You should be a rep for them!

"One minute I'm up on a roof sarking, next I'm in the take away carking it, then I'm in the bank, barking, then in the bonnet farking around with an alternator! all in my lovely Dewalts!
Thanks for this.
This is what we have done for ages, but ever since W drove off the road, asleep, it has been obvious she isn't really up to driving such long distances. She has to take loads of painkillers every day plus she is now 74, etc etc. so we decided it is safer for her to ride with me with her car behind us. When over there for 6 months we need two cars. a little un for general running around but a big un for load lugging. I agree though and we have been thinking of getting just one more modern and more economical vehicle some sort of an estate maybe. But, and this is just a personal thing, she loves driving her Pluriel with the top down and I love driving the Disco! Also in dodgy weather, bing in the mountains, the Disco is reassuringly safe especially if we go off into the forest roads in the Montagne Noire. Ther is a bit of green laning/off road stuff we can do.
No it wasn't was it.WORDLE in three today. Am chuffed, been rubbish last few days.
It ain't nice
