    whats the most youve towed (safely)?

    The maximum of 3500kgs is the combined weight of the trailer and the load but only if towed by something like a large four wheel drive that has a safe recommend towing weight to match. Say a landrover disco weighs 2500kgs plus the trailer and load of 3500kgs ( braked ) that's still a lot of...

    Tweeter upgrade

    I'm not sure if this will help or not but I've got a four door with the standard tweeters on the dash plus door and shelf speakers . I've added two 6" bazooka tubes in the boot which take there signal from the rear shelf speakers ( It has made a massive difference ) .

    whats the most youve towed (safely)?

    I would think your going to be well over the recommend towing weight by the time you add the weight of the trailer tbh ( It kind of depends on how recommended is defined ) , is it just recommended or is it the maximum safe towing weight ? As for tow bars removable ones are very good these days...

    Gearbox Half shaft play?

    Speaker up grade

    After fitting a two subs in the boot to improve the bass in my car I started looking at the speaker fittment in the cabin. I have the standard rear shelf plus front door speakers but I was wondering why the rear doors have grills but no speakers fitted , is this normal or is my car missing a set...

    Gearbox Half shaft play?

    Thanks for the reply . I've swapped the wheels front to rear plus checked they are all straight and there's no sign of damage but it made no difference to the noise at all. The vibration between 60-70 mph is something I can live with for a bit intill I can find a new shaft . It's the roar that's...

    Gearbox Half shaft play?

    I know this is dragging up an old post but I have what sounds like the same problem. At low speed between 20-40 mph I get a sort of roar which seems to be coming from the front drivers side wheel or drive train area, I first thought it was a wheel bearing in its way out but the noise does not...
