towing a disco with an A frame

Tank:
Hi I want to tow an auto disco with an A Frame.

Am I right in thinking that I can just put the High Low transfer box into neutral to isolate the auto box while towing ?? [-o<

Thanks

No!!!!!!!!


you will be ok to put both the Gearbox and Transferbox in neutral if you are only going a few miles, Maximum 3 miles or so, and at no more than 30 MPH

if you want to tow it further you will need to remove both prop shafts from the Diffs, Before you remove the Props Chock the wheels or the vehicle will roll away  (ask me how i know  :oops: :oops: :doh:)

And hope you don't get spotted by the fuzz/have an accident because it's illegal [-X

I towed a disco from scotland to solihull with an a frame no problems at all, go for it  :grin:

Bluestrobe:
DON'T DO IT IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :police:

Unless the brakes are coupled on the vehicle you are towing and your vehicle it is against the law and you will be charged, friendly warning, your choice!

Get sensible and put it on a trailer and stay legal, even under recovery legislation, recovery vehicles are only meant to tow a vehicle for the minimum distance necessary to remove it from a road it is causing an obstruction on. Anything else should be flat bed or trailer.
