Hi , have a quick question for anyone willing to help a not so clued up guy on whether I would be able to tow or do I need some sort of towing licence...I have a 09 volvo s40 1.8 petrol car and I have a mardon dalesman 460/2 caravan now I passed after 1997 so this means I can tow up to 3.5tonnes with both weights of caravan and car without needing a licence (correct me if I'm wrong please) do u think the car I have is enough to tow the caravan and do u think I will b able to tow it within the 3.5tonnes if correct..
