Going a few miles up the road is not the same as the M6 with all the check points anpr cameras

And as said the 85% rule is only for a guide, and the trailer is part of the towed weight so your going to need all the luck you can get, as that combo is dangerous ...and you will be slow, very very slow as I doubt a 1.8 will have a great deal of torque

Just spoken to Derren about that sound, he said its from the down pipe, ie where you have a screamer pipe he done it so it goes in the down pipe and said that's what the sound is.
