Right I'll try and be brief. Mate of mine has a 1999 Subaru Legacy twin turbo. A few years back it spun a/several big end bearings, clunked a lot and the oil pressure vanished. Ever since it has sat in his garage in its component parts.

Now he has a guy who will rebuild the motor and get it all going at a very reasonable price. Problem we have is the car is in Welwyn Garden City and the guy is in Chelmsford. We had got a trailer we could have borrowed but it will only hold a car up to Focus size.

The tow vehicle will be a Vauxhall Vivaro 2.5TDi. Now the questions;
1. What sort of trailer do we need?
2. Where could we get one from (hiring)?
3. Do we need anything specific on the lisence for that trailer?
4. Anybody have a better solution?

You can borrow my trailer, Im near Chelmsford so you'll just have to drive here first. Ask Dave Nonad, he knows my trailer and where I live.

thats a nice offer from Paul there Steve, kinda a mission to get the trailer, but a mission is always good, have towed it a few times, and frankly you could put a tank on it, nevermind a Legacy!

HSS hire out some nice big twin axle car trailers, i think i paid 50quid for 24hours use.

licence wise, if u passed before 1997, you wil have the entitlement as standard, if not, then u need to have a b+e entitlement test, hassle and costs wedge.

towing vehicle wise, id say a 2.5 vivaro is plenty heavy and powerful enough to do the job, so no worries there

depends when you passed your test on what you can tow. before 1997 up to 8 ton i think. and after 1997 3.5 ton combined weight using an A-Frame

I'm an old fart and so is my mate, We're all in our 30's now. It's great, we get to moan about youngsters, complain about modern fashion and generaly be grumpy

GT towing are very resonable in st albans

does this mean the car your using to tow and the car being towed, will the contence be added to?
