Re: Hello Again.
The BX was always seen as a very excellent towcar back in the day Tim...

Re: Hello Again.
Indeed it was, we towed with ours for a few years when I was a kid! Dad commented on how well it pulled, mind you compared to our previous car it should (a montego 1.3 of all things!)

Re: Hello Again.
I recall, when I was into caravanning in a big way back in the early 90s, the announcement that the BX was to cease production. There was great outpourings of grief from the caravanning fraternity, worried to know if the successor would be as good..
In the event it was... I towed with a 1.9TD and it was just about splendid... The only difference the van made was that it lost a bit of go. Otherwise you barely knew you had getting on for a ton of 'van on the hook!

Re: Hello Again.
Yes with the marauder only being 750kgs you can't feel it on the back asides as you say it's a bit like driving with the handbrake on!
