ok cheers, surpose its best to disconnect prop, im just lazy lol :-[



oh and how do i sort the avatar thing??? ::)

If you're only going 10 miles be lazy and stay clean. You don't need to disconnect the prop to go such a short distance. My autos have been towed that far several times over the years.

For 10m, just keep the speed down, eg max 40mph, should be OK :)

For 10 miles...why not just leave the engine of the car your towing running?? Then there is no risk and no damage...

It's just a guess ... but I bet that the car is a non runner, hence the reason for towing it in the first place. I may very well be wrong ... it's happened a couple of times ;) ........  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;) :y
