Hi,
Our E320 is brilliant at towing, BUT it has this annoying habit of suddenly losing power. Suddenly, acceleration is slug-like and we manage about 40mph and no more. When we stop and switch off and re-start it is normally fine again! It's rather inconvenient on the M6!
Sometimes it does it once in 6 hours, other times every half an hour. It's the only complaint we have with it as a tow car.... has anyone else experienced this?
The caravan is fairly small and light, it's only 70/75% of the car's weight.
Cheers
Fiona
