I have a '96 300Tdi 130 and bought it for just this job. It's not the ideal tow rig for that amount of weight. I'm towing about 2800kg. Yep, for towing 3000kg it will be SLOW. Especially when you come to hills. (Even without a trailer the Landy is quite slow around town.) When towing and taking off ...

Re: Todd and Ivan
The rules say nothing about the part being in use. I would fight it. Although it sounds like Normy's Tail shaft was not a Spare Part it was removed from his vehicle. This is what the organisers will argue. If the Passage Controller told them there was no penalty for using the shaft from Norms car ...

Re: Todd and Ivan
So what do the rules say!!! I thought you could be given a part from someone else in your group and not get a penalty against you. But if the rules state that then who else will be up for penalty's. As far as I know you are allowed to resource parts within your group but organisers have clarified ...
