Cheers for the replys lads. Its a good step up from the 16ft dateline I have at the mo. Gave it a right good machine polishing today and it has come up like new, before I started I fitted the new intercooler hose to the disco! 15 min job. What a difference.

As per the towing the sticking out prop etc had a traffic x5 behind me on the m74 and they didnt seem bothered. I believe you are right though and the lights should be at the furthest extremity of the tow. Not much to secure it to though!

The boat is a 4.3 v6 so not the full blown v8 that does about 2mpg. Launching on sat! Fingers crossed all goes well.

LR's make cracking towing vehicles in my experience and can tow well past their weight limits as some on here have shown... Iirc someone had a 20'+ beastie when their disco broke down and needed a hgv low loader with winch to get them home... Anyone going to fess up Wink FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner Smile

Your right! Even with a burst intercooler hose it managed. Looking forward to seeing the difference tomorrow
