Hi Guys,

In the morning I may have to use my 30 year old SIII to haul our Td5 back to the main road. :rolleyes: I am hearing concerns about how to do it though as with no engine there will be no power steering and no brakes. The brakes I can handle, but with no steering this may be an issue. Can it be steered with no engine? Am I going to damage the power steering system?

The vehicle is far enough up an ice covered farm track with hills and ditches that Green Flag may through in the white flag...

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Rob, like the brakes the steering will work but there will be no assistance so it will be very heavy. You can stil drive one without assistance so I can see no reason why you can't tow one. Remember to put the tranny box in neutral if it's an auto.
