Towing capasity, auto 2000kg manual 1800kg IF you have grandfather rights, if test passed since 1997 and towing module also passed subtract kerb weight from 3500kg.
The grandfather right weights are handbook, the since 1997 are V5 if it's on there. At age 70 grandfather rights are removed unless you take a class 2 hgv medical to retain them. My thoughts if I have to take the medical I may as well get a class 2 licence and a 38 tonne train capasity as 3500 will see me unable to tow the caravan with either the volvo or landrover without the grandfather rights.

It's not class 2 hgv medical, just a 20 minute health check with an eyesight test to retain your C1 and all the other categories you have now. Mine was £55 from a taxi firm's doctor. A lot of similar firms on the internet.

A 17 in canicula with a tyre on will go in the well IF you make a new plywood floor at the existing one has all sorts of shapes on the back, tomorrow i will get a sheet of 18mm and some carpet to make a new floor. As i am in the building job, own a router i envisage 2 hours tops for this part. Then i will look at the storage tray |

Are you sure you want to do this? Having a stiff sheet of 18mm ply right behind you or rear seat passengers could result in serious injury or worse in a rear end accident, as it may not bend or crumple. Is there anything else you can use?

But isan't this plywood sheet being used to make a replacement load bay platform that will be secured in the same way as the existing one? Does the material from which the replacement floor is made have a direct bearing on the safety of the car? how safe does that make the existing floor? I'm interested in this because I loath the skinny spare which I was forced to buy to replace the can of gunk which was the only Volvo concession to tyre punctures!

I agree, i am going to modify the design to something less robust. The existing floor is a very stiff material,it does have some thin foam type covering on it.
