LEGAL QUESTION
Sooty:
I may be wrong but if the Suzuki is less than 750kg in weight then it is legal to tow it on an A frame as the maufacturers stated unbraked capacity is 750kg (the max allowed) on a Dicovery.
If the Suzuki is more than 750kg then you must put a braking system on it, or take out the pasenger seat and any other unwanted bits.
And sod the light board, just put the Disco number on the back and wire the rear lights up to a plug.on the a frame.
muddyweb:
I was under the impression that regardless of the weight that if you tow a vehicle (even on an a-frame) it needs to be taxed and insured.
Sooty:
If it is on an A frame then it is classed as a trailer unit and therefore is not required to be taxed MOTed or even insured.
It is covered 3rd party by the towing vehicle insurance.

I wouldn't even go that far. There is a big clampdown on the use of A-Frame's going on all over the country at the moment.
So much so that people like HSS hireshops have stop hiring them out.
Summit do to with too many towee vehicles coming adrift from their tow-ers.
:-(
ferret:
There seems to be many different opinions on towing, im more confused than i was before.Dont s'pose anyone knows the kerb weight of a suzuki sj410 softtop?
