assuming the trailer is braked you need to find what the gross train weight is, I pulled my 5 with an Astra, but it was borderline. My gut instinct says with a twin axle braked trailer you'd be fine.

does it not also depend on what licence you hold cos they changed it when they dropped the weight limit for vehicles you can drive if you pasted after a certain date ie you can't pul a trailer unles you pass another test?

yeah, 1997 or there abouts. you can still tow a trailer weighing upto 750kg on a modern licence, but towing a car on a trailor would be a no go ofcourse.

If you look in your car manual (or do a search on the net) you can find out the gross towing weight for you car...
