Hi Thanks for the replies. I have never had to think about towing weights as the Defenders capacity is 3.5 tonnes. Also no problem with spares. Are spares available and cheap or do you have to pay a lot. I do my own mechanaching so are they easy to work on?

Hi Just joined the forum. At the moment I own a Landrover Defender Td5. With all the hype on diesel emmissions. emmission zones ( I live in Leicester which wants to become the cleanest city in the UK and ban any diesels from the city) I use my Landrover to tow my caravan both here and on the continent I think the time may have come where I need to swop to a petrol equivalent to my Defender. Subaru Foresters always seem to get a good write up and reviews. So my ideal spec would be Petrol 1750kg towing capacity. 4 Wheel Drive (Need not be permanent) Diff lock Low range gear box 25-30mpg £ 5-8K The question is, Is there a model that meets all or most of these requirements? Thanks
