I had some work done on the glider at the DG factory near Bruchsal. I took it over in depths of winter (Jan 2020) and got a total journey average of about 370 Wh/mile. Coming back in May when it was warmer, it was nearer 360. However, I had a rather embarrassing experience on the return that resulted in higher consumption! After a SuC stop near the German/Belgium border, I forgot to release the trailer's handbrake. The car is so powerful that I didn't notice it apart from the higher consumption which I put down to perhaps a slight up-hill element to the road. 100km later and a stop for a natural break I realised what I'd done but by then the brakes and the wheel bearings on the trailer were completely shot. I ended up spending an extra day in Belgium getting new bearings fitted (I did the rest of the journey without trailer brakes and fixed it myself later). Cobra BTW were superb - can't fault them. They helped me find an Akzo dealer locally to get spares.
You say 900kg (910 when I purchased I think) but the website now says 1000kg. So does the plate on the car. I presume the limit is actually 1000kg?
I was wondering this. It said 910kg before I ordered the car, but everything I have says 1000kg. Has it been increased?
Where did you find that information. I can't find a maximum towing capacity in the manual but there is reference to Gross Vehicle Weight and Gross Axle Weight and the plate on my car seems ot have these at 1,000Kg difference.
Never thought to look at the V5. Just wonder if you tow above 910 it will not be as per the manufacturer’s instructions (instruction manual). Which I’ve not seen either to be fair.
I paid £1000 and pretty sure it had already increased to 1000kg, at that point. The manual says to check the car plate and tow hitch label for maximum towing capacity. The car says 1000kg, and I’m 99% certain the tow hitch label also says this.
