I hope it isn't an auto T4 - they are weak on the transmission & towing is a massive heat generator - on a tranny that already suffers with hot running.

Just a heads up folks.

Hehe I took off the lowering springs that was on it when I bought it and replaced with new, full height and reinforced ones. Also lifted it a bit in the front to get even height.

This is just a work car for me eventho it is a Caravelle and has 9 seats, but it is also a syncro so I want the extra height and not be worried about hitting something underneath.

Got plenty of other low cars I can use for on-road driving

Its almost a camper then, nice
Reckon you got the 2.4d non turbo as well? I am also thinking about putting a turbo on mine as it is unbelievably slow, and the syncro also doesnt excactly make it any faster...
