cabstar towing weight and general advice

[THE88MAN]

Done a deal yesterday on a cabstar tipper,02 plate,100k,2.7td,single axle.I was just wondering if anyone knew what i can legally tow with it as i will occasionally be needing to tow a small-medium ifor,also oil change intervals etc and any common faults and characteristics to look out for,thanks,steve

hi there, i've got a 2001 cabstar same 2.7td engine. just come to replace glow plugs and one snapped in the head! bummer, so got the head off now and its off to the engineers.

 

mine gross 3.2 ton and train weight is 5.5 ton

 

debating wether to keep or get shut yet...

Also the data plate should be next to your head where your seat belt is (drivers)

ive got a 2003 2.7td cabstar

 

if its got a tipmaster scissor tipping gear the back doesn't tip up at a steep enough angle to tip chip off propley so end up with a fork to give it a helping hand.

 

my glow plugs also need changing but after reading last post i mite be letting garage change them as knowing my luck same will happen to me.

 

also had my rear brake cylinders go leaking break fluid all over my newly laid drive, but that can happen to any truck.
