According to parkers, the max towing weight is 1200kg for a 1.9TD, though it doesnt have the rest of the info.

The kerb weight of your Xantia is 1435Kgs. It can have a payload of up to 250Kgs; and if you work to the recommended weight ratio of 85% of kerb weight, the maximum weight of your van should be around 1240Kgs. From memory of when I had a 2.1 Estate, the nose weight was 70Kgs.

If you go to the VIN plate on the car, The 1st weight is the gross vehicle weight & the second one is the GTW

Thanks guys.
My caravan weighs 1080kg max with a max nose weight of 75kg so it's nicely within $\:D/$ and now I don't have to tow with the wifes 406.
