Need advise please, a bit concerned - I have a 300D W124-1988, the question is, is it ok to tow another vehicle for about 10-12miles using the 300D, and if it is ok, and was to be done often, is that a problem??, or anything one has to look out for. Would it have a load to lets say the gearbox/clutch etc.
Please do excuse my ignorance for this - I was a bit concerned when someone asked me to tow their vehicle, unfortunately i gave an excuse for which i felt quite bad, but in the past when i used to have a VW VENTO 1.8cl, i agreed to tow someone for about 8 miles, and within a few days i could smell the clutch burning,which eventually lead to getting it changed.
I really didn't want to go through any expences incase anything would happen.Please give me your opinions / knowledge for this, so for the future i will know what to do, thanks.
