DaveGr Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry, have searched the previous posts on towing advice, but wanted to check it ... will a 1.8 petrol mondeo be enough to tow a trailered 7? Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dave Yes easily provided you do not use a very large and heavy trailer. I have towed with a 1.8 Golf in the past with no difficulty. What trailer do you have? Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGr Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Mark, I don't have a trailer (but can hire locally), and I haven't even registered for the championship yet, but have just been forced into changing my car so was wondering what the minimum I could get away with was. Thanks for the fast reply. Apprecaited. Will register when I get round to sorting out the catalytic converter issue! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 i used to tow for a couple of years in a 1.6 petrol alfa 147, trailered the 7 to the south of france, was ok pulling a minno but any hills and it would struggle if you do hire - do look for somethign like a minnow as you may end up with a heavy duy ifor williams jobbie that could weight more than the 7 rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dave, slightly off topic but if you still have your vx 1600, you shouldn't need a catalytic converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveGr Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks Greg, Matt W explained it all to me a while ago and offered a similar assurance so I'm sure I will get round to registering soon! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
