| I leave my tow hitch permanently attached as I use it a lot. It has however become somewhat loose in that it will move up and down by maybe 1 cm. This makes for horrible towing, particularly at low ... |

Over 36700 miles since purchase in Feb 08, my TDV6 has averaged 23.54 mpg. Very rarely better than 25 or worse than 19. Best was 32, worst 16. This includes a fair amount of towing.

| At the start of this cold snap, the tailgate glass took to unlatching itself when the car (06 TDV6 SE) was locked or unlocked on the fob. It wouldn't always do it, just sometimes. And then sometimes ... |

Worrying topic, I'd say !
I've got an old-style licence with A+E, so AIUI I don't need to pass the trailer test.
