best to check insurance, depends on your policy. you may be insured to tow, but it dont mean whats on the trailers insured if the worst happens, so best check.
dont know how familar you are with towing so please ignore if you know all this, just thought id share the info, so your legal:
as for the car, yeh it will tow it i assume, should not weigh too much with out engine/box! its a turbo diesel after all. i use my landrover defender 110 for towing, so its a piece of piss for me. can be towing 3 ton and you forget its even there sometimes!!
i assume the trailer your using is a twin axle unit? wouldnt even consider using a single.(infact dont even think its legal to?)
remember 60mph max on motorway
and 50mph max in national speed limits areas
im assuming you passed your driving test before 1st jan 1997, cos if you passed after that you can only tow max laden/gross weight of 3/4 ton! and you need to take a test to upgrade your licence!
make sure the car is strapped down, i think 2 strap/fixings are the minimum. i always use 5 - a strap on each wheel and on on a towing eye to be safe.
sounds stupid but im talking from experience, my fatherinlaws Aston Martin fell off of our trailer before we even left the drive! and one of my mates i know through work stuff got fined £7000 for an "insecure load", he had no straps and didnt attach the emergency brake cable on to the car!
one last thing make sure the car is ballenced on the trailer, to far foward will be hard on the car. too far back and you wont be able to go over 40mph cos it will snake like a bugger and you will risk loosing the lot!!
hope you learnt something, hope the journey goes smoothly.
