Ken so far I have given more than enough information to identify myself
If your concerned and live in Uk write to Volvo UK for confirmation on what you can tow and get this in writing.
If you ring them and ask then ask them to put this in writing they will not entertain you
They will only give you written confirmation if you write to them directly.
Ask them the towing capacity
Ask them if you use RAC if you have a problem under Volvo assist and a contractor destroys your vehicle who is responsible, what happens if the sub contractor is unable or unwilling to cover any damage
When you get these answers ask them two further things on breakdown side
Why do the terms and conditions only get given to you when the car is delivered as its in the service boklet and then ask them why the right of disclaimer of claiming against either Volvo or RAC is not in the exclusions yet should something happen both Volvo and RAC will fire off this disclaimer possibly making your insurance invalid after all every insurance company will wriggle out of a claim, if they discover you handed your property to someone else who then damaged it they will insist you go after them
Its not rocket science Ken, the office of fair trading are currently investigating along with TV shows etc
Many people have lost huge sums chasing problems and getting nowhere
Clearly there are more terms and conditions and a lot of them unpublished but will be quoted in the event of a problem
If you ask your supplying dealer at best they will print off websit specs, these are heavily disclaimered and for that reason will not stand in a court if you have a problem
Notice the guarded responce you may get
In your booklet is UK customer help number, give them a ring see for yourself
