Returning from a lovely 4 day weekend away, we hit a bumpy bridge, caravan stabiliser system kicked in and shortly after gears started crashing, horrid grating noise then odd sounding engine. Stopped and called AA, they couldn't fix so called a tow truck. 6.5 hours after leaving the campsite we're safely home. Tow truck guy suggested we need something more powerful to tow our van. It's a bailey senator Virginia and we've got a 1.9 Galaxy tdi. So on paper we should be fine but it does seem to struggle on hills. It's quite an old car so depending on what's wrong and the cost it may be worth us changing. Hubby is a builder and we have 2 dogs and particularly like the 7 seat arrangements in the galaxy and the fact they all lift out. We've even slept in it when camping in a thunderstorm. Max we can spend is around £7k. Any advice welcome.
