    It seems the deal is no longer in trouble and is about to be closed....... see this article

    I towed my SX18 a few months ago with a Land Rover Discovery, my wife was following and said the back of the boat was going up and down, up and down. I realised it was because of the air suspension on the Discovery. What a pain in the a*se it was to tow with.


    Land Rover / Jaguar have announced today that India's Tata motors purchased them. A real pity and by the looks of things a lot of British companies will be eaten up by profitable Indian companies.

    That big diesel must love the fuel on your truck, especially when you are towing, have you posted a pick of the whole setup?
    I bet it takes up more than 6 parking spots like WetWillies does

    Geez, Mariah Z276, I'd say your truck/trailer/boat is close to 17000lbs and with that, my rig gets lost in your shadow!!
