as above. I looked in handbook but can't find what i want. I have access to a car transporting trailer but think I may exceed weight if i put another omega on it.
Please advise.
-
as far as I know, legally you cant tow an omega with an omega
-
Max you can tow is about 1,700kg with the estate and no do not tow another omega on a trailer as all you will get is plod pulling you over. I used a Land Rover Disco to pull the wife's old estate on a trailer. All the info you need is in the hand book. You are looking at about 2500kg for a trailer with a mig on it :y
-
Cheers, as said couldn't find it in the book.
Have towed one with my shogun but that was ok for 3500kg
Fortunately the chap who has the trailer also has a lwb defender. :y

You don't need the handbook .. look at the VIN plate just inside the door.
That gives the max weight you can tow legally.
If you don't know how to read the VIN .. Mark wrote a guide which is here

It is this information the Mr Plod can, and will, use to help his decision on booking you or not .. :)

I have been talked to twice about unrelated things while towing an Omega with another Omega using an A-Frame...surprisingly they didnt even mention the clearly overweight unbraked trailer on the back of my car...wouldnt recommend it though :y
