This has been discussed on here many times, and as long as the speed rating EXCEEDS the speed the car the capable off there is no problem. V is more than adequate.

Really?? Well I'm surprised I have killed myself then!!

Agreed!

If you use a towing hitch with internal stabiliser pads, such as those made by Alko or BPW then the ball should NOT be greased.

Yes, twice now. Towed down to Cornwall when it had 1k on the clock and then to Shrewsbury the other weekend. It isn't as good as the Yeti towing, but then I didn't expect it to be, but it coped more than adequately and was certainly as stable. Found the DCT box coped very well. Tried it in manual/sport mode as well and decided auto was best! Regenerative braking was useful on some of the hills on the A30 west of the Cornish border. Petrol consumption was obviously higher but that was expected, and we don't normally go that far very often. Did find that reversing the van just using the electric motor was excellent as it is so gentle. It does seem to be improving as we get more miles done.

Sold out second Yeti in July this year and now drive a Kia Niro self charging hybrid. Couldn't justify a diesel now I've retired, just not doing the journeys we used to.

It looks like everyone is ignoring the word I specifically noted!

What exactly do you mean about Outdoor or 4x4 models? Of more importance is what engine is fitted. All the 4x4 diesels use the same rear springs. I'm not sure about the 110 2 wheel drive, and the 1.2 certainly have different rear springs, as does the Greenline. So the question is, have you fitted the correct rear springs, and have you fitted them correctly? They need to go a particular way around to sit in their "seats". There is also the fact that any spring needs "setting" so a few miles over a rough road will help to do that. I certainly found that when I replaced them both on my first Yeti. And to add drop plates are no longer permitted. First Yeti had the approved Westfalia removable, second one had a Witter flange; the height was the same. From the legislation, (note the word laden!) The EC Directive 94/20/EC (The standard that all towbars are designed to) states that the tow ball height should be between 350 and 420mm from the ground with the vehicle in a 'laden' state.

First thing I would be checking were the wires between the hatch and the body.

So you think you know better than the experts?

Yes, they appear to have different springs.

No, the only different ones were the Greenline.

From what I can see the "thing" with Garmin written on it is the standard Garmin cigarette lighter plug fitment (which yes does convert 12v to 5v) and it is plugged into a "remote" additional cigarette lighter socket. I don't see any grid. Do you mean the actual fuse board or do you mean the grey plastic item with lots of raised lines on it? That is part of the dash panel and would probably mean taking the whole dash apart to get it off. I suspect that undoing the 2 mounting screws will release the fuse board but before doing so I would disconnect the battery just in case you touch anything on the back. I know that when the tow bar was fitted to my last Yeti that is what was done. And personally using a piggyback fuse holder is MUCH easier!! There are instructions on how to do this in the Guide section.

HH OBD Advanced

With mine, you are reading the fault numbers on the phone/tablet and that gives you the option of resetting them.

I bought a simple one from Ebay, that worked perfectly, but as I've sold the Yeti........................................... I've PMed you.

Indeed!. Now done 1700 miles and very happy with it. Couple of things the Yeti is "better" at, like coming home lights and the auto lights are better, but overall it's doing everything I expected it to do.

On another Yeti Forum there is a member selling a suitable and correct spare wheel.

That is NOT a suitable spare wheel for a Yeti. It is a silly ultra-narrow thing not probably and does not have the correct weight limits and is NOT Type Approved.

The spare wheel for all Yeti models is as you have stated, whether originally fitted with 16" or 17" wheels.

Which shows 2 faults in that section and 2 in Navigation!

It doesn't need coding to the car, so don't worry.

Having once towed an exhibition box trailer weighing 1.9 tonnes with my 150 I would NOT want to do it again. It might be legal but it was not pleasant! As Urrell says, for someone with little to no experience they need to be looking at either a bigger car or a smaller caravan.

With the 110 the caravan would weigh more than the car and would not be advisable, especially for a novice tower. I have been towing for 30 plus years and even with the 150 I would not be happy, and again would not recommended it to a novice. I think you need to be looking for a heavier car than the Yeti.
