Yeah I would have to say that heading up the big hill coming out of the gong is a struggle for any car.

Up mooney mooney I can sit on 100 if I really want to but I usually do about 80 to 90 up the hill.

got to love the falcon

I'm talking all the hills on the F6 from Wollongong to Sydney, not just climbing Mt Ousley.

on the BA manual, beware of redbook, not all of its figures are accurate. From memory when i was researching all manual ba-fg xr6t had a 1600kg towing limit. Clutch and box don't like the strain.

also, i much prefer the having a lot heavier tow vehicle, just imagine what its like pulling up a 2.3t trailer with a 1.5t car when the trailer brakes fail.

or even worse even if you're halfway around a bend and you need to slam the brakes, chances are bad enough of jack knifing with a 4WD, youre nearly guaranteed it in something like a falcon or commodore.

4wd all the way

if your trailers and car are close to your tow limit just add fuel and tools and your well over

not worth the risk

Sorry to bring back an old thread but i couldnt help but think how funny fatz is talking about safety. If i remember fatz car trailer was the thing of ledgend for being so damn dangerous even the tyre rack fell off one time and i had to weld it back up.

Mmmm death trailer was the reason I got my first 4wd

As a upthedatefor this thread

Q7 approaching 200k on the clock

Still tows like a mofo..loves 3 tonne out the back

Do recommend and for the f**kers above I think you can pick one up for 20k now

I must say I have been eying off a few v12 q7s as a upgrade recently

Why not the V10 Toureg, and pocket the massive difference in change? I've driven one of those towing a big arse trailer. Was like nothing was attached to it.

Excuse ignorance, but much difference between them?

v12 has 500hp

Have owned QE7 and TOUAREG V10, both very capable, V10 noise under load like rolling thunder, main difference besides size is that if you venture off road into slippery stuff , the VW will be pulling out its sister. Haven't driven V12 so cannot comment.

For under 20K I love my 4.2Turbo Diesel Cruiser. 2000 model.

Not quite as quick as Fatz pram, but if you do go off road it goes pretty darn well :P

So well that I sold the car trailer I bought to tow it so I can 4WD more instead :P

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
