I am trying to get my head around the law with regards to towing a trailer in the UK and have started to upload all of the information I can find.

I must admit that as with most UK law, it is a minefield out there and you would have to be a lawyer to fully understand the rules. Add to this the UK Police force who seem to be able to make up the rules to suit themselves and you have a situation where even the good honest UK driver can fall foul and end up with points on their licence.

More information can be found here: UK Trailer rules and regulations

Please note that the MOT has changed to now cover the towing point. More details to follow.

If you have anything to add, please do leave a comment as I would like this to be a comprehensive guide to towing a trailer.

Land Rover today announces prices for the new 2010 Range Rover Sport and the new Discovery 4 – on sale in the UK from September 1.

The significantly revised and updated models feature new refined and powerful engines, completely redesigned interiors and a host of new technologies – all of which ensure greater customer value. The pricing structure will reflect the increase in the level of specification over the predecessor 2009 MY products.

Land Rover will be offering Festival goers test drives of the Freelander 2 TD4_e, the world’s first SUV with intelligent stop-start technology – around the Goodwood estate, and will showcase its vehicles’ supreme capabilities on ‘Terrapod’ – the man-made off-road demonstration unit.

New pricing is as follows:

There were some lovely old Land Rovers as well as old trucks, a massive Russian Ural and many vintage bikes.

Sunday 14th June and the weather was quite literally scorching, in fact the whole weekend was rather pleasant which made a nice change.

The Jumble started at 10am but we didn’t pitch up until an hour and a bit later as I really needed some extra sleep. By the time we did get there, people were already leaving after having nabbed some good bargains so I think next year I will get there on time.

There were more stalls than last year, with 3 big rows and some extra stalls round the top of the field. The usual range of bits were on sale from indicator lenses all the way up to complete gearboxes, trailers and Land Rovers.  I saw a nice double axle flatbed trailer with winch for £800. I didn’t look too closely in case I was tempted so can’t vouch for the condition but it looked pretty good.

As usual there were some lovely vehicles in the car park and dotted around. Although there were also some hideous monsters there as well.
