I know older (small) 'vans are light, but a Chevette can't have much of a towing limit??

The Chevette's fairly aerodynamic, but that's a bluff front to drag through the air!!

My first car was a Chevette, but a hatchback

Would be interesting in strong cross winds, a bit of tail wagging the dog.

Van doesn't weigh much, prob less than 750kg.

I once towed a 1300kg van with a ford focus TDI. That was fun over the Avon mouth bridge!

Finally, after 'borrowing' the 7-core cable from my lighting-board, to rewire the trailer. I sorted the 'L-B' out this afternoon
I called in at Indespension, in Hunslet (Leeds) to see how much it was per metre (Wandahome, at FerryBridge, wanted £3.50/metre!)
6 metres, cost me £9.50 (inc VAT), which was actually cheaper than it's listed on the website!!
At the counter; £1.32
website states; £1.71
Both are '+VAT'

It's far better quality, than wnat I took off it, for the trailer too!
That said, the last time I used it was when I checked whether it worked, & took it with me, when I actually bought the trailer
Doubtless, it'll now be another few years before I actually need it!

Saturday 25th

I've received an email, regarding the renewal for our caravan insurance
In a pleasing contrast to the (unpleasant) insurance premium increase for my Kodiaq, this has gone up by a miniscule amount!!

Last year; £131.27
This years renewal; £132.78
