    Not that I am aware of BUT.....

    Vauxhall recommend uprating the rear springs when fitting a towbar. A lot of
    towbar specialists don't know this but it is something I recommend too.

    I will only towing a light weight 16ft racing dinghy so light you can pick
    it up by the seat. the mast and rig is a bit heavier but to big to go on the
    roof.

    I used my 2.0 diesel Zaf to tow a trailer with 50kgs nosewieght 5 people and
    bags in the boot half way across France and back without noticing the
    trailer's there. There was no appreciable effect on the road holding just to
    further to stop. I'm not surprised no-one knows about uprating the rear
    suspension. I doubt it needs it.
    Still show me a copy of Vauxhall technical uopdate and I'll stand corrected.
