a good service and I would change the auto box oil if you have'nt already

would also get some spring stoppers just in case, helps with full load in back and caravan weight.

Thanks for that,Do these cars make good tow cars and should i use superplus unleaded to give it a bit more oomph

depends a lot on the weight that you are towing,I tow a 1500kg van with mine but its a v6 so copes well

My 2.2DTi estate tows a 1200Kg (unladden) caravan with ease. As mentioned above I also fitted some spring assistors as well just to stop the springs going full travel.
