When our mpg starts to drop when we are towing I consider asking my husband to get out and push for a bit!

Spooky!!!

Still got my Korando, but no caravan now.

Just been too busy to post any messages on here, but I still like to dip in and out when I can.

How's your Korando going?

If you need any bits for it, I can recommend a few good places.

hi bacon sandwich

funny you should ask how the korando is going ... the gearselect cable broke on friday (whilst in the middle of a 3 point turn ) am trying to locate one so if u have any ideas please do tell !!!

apart from this no probs with the engine and (assuming i can get a cable pronto ) then i am well pleased.

p.s. what is your user name on the ssangyong owner page???

You've opened a can of worms here!!

My Citroen C5 estate diesel does better than 50mpg solo and 35mpg towing a 1400  kg van.  Used to tow with Volvo estates,  much richer now.

Hiya Mad Cow

We tow with a Nissan Primera Estate 2.0 injection and we don't rate it very good - solo it does about 32 mpg (around town etc) towing it does about 23 mpg.  We've got an ABI Daystar 2 berth. 

That's why I ask him to push the caravan for a time!

We get about 47mpg solo, 33mpg towing 1300kg from our CRV (so put that in yer pipe and smoke it you 4x4 knockers)

Hi Pete, you seem to be doing much better on the MPG with your CR-V than we are with ours!!

We don't get above 40 on a trip and this drops to around 25 towing a 1350Kg van, fully laden that is.

How heavy is the wife........LOL??

I have absolutely no imagination so my Ssangyong club name is also Bacon Sandwich!

Try an email to sales at koreancarspares.co.uk for the cable. He sorts me out with everything I need and can get bits from Korea in a few days.

Let me know how you get on.

hi bacon sandwich

have managed to get one ,theres a ssangyong dealer in alcester ( about 10 miles away ) and he's getting one for tomorrow ...£38 inc vat.....can't be bad cos on the ssangyong pages someone paid £65 +vat.

 My Santa Fe gives me 44 solo and 33 towing a 1380kg van.

You should have been at Orchards, Al. Not even the Shoguns/Pajeros could get off without the vintage tractor to give us a tow..

Only Kev's 4 x 4 made it off on it's own, and he had a downhill run at the gateway.

Just spotted this, the Jeep had no problem getting on and off, we didn't need the tractor!!!

Cheers  Ratty

I am getting 35 mpg on a run solo & towing 1550 kg van 22 mpg.
