towing an auto yes or no???

Hi, apologies as im sure this will of been mentioned before but I can't find it.
Im thinking of buying a sparea/repairs disco tdi auto but can I tow it back?

Yea!
6mm blue nylon rope should do the job.

yes if ya disconnect the props from the axles. If ya don't wanna remove em completely just tie em up out the way of the axle drive flanges.

I thought that but they're hard enough to turn over ad it is, but yes I'll try that cheers.

Done it with my RR, towing a RR from Swansea to Kent at 80mph along the M4 with out any probs, back in the good old days.

Thanks for the all the help much appreciated lads

Well did the trip yesterday and.............. everything went bang on. 1 thing I didn't mention was the vehicle I used to tow the disco was a 2002 ford fiesta 1.8td ha ha but it pulled it well! We hit 70mph at one bit! Struggled a bit up hills and my mate who was supposes to be steering the disco decided to text someone while I was towing him causing us to go separate ways at the roundabout!! But we soon recovered! But all in all the 93 mile trip back was eventful and interesting :rofl:

either that is the biggest pile of ****e I have ever read- or you both need taking out



and shooting
