Has anyone used their ZS for towing? If so, please can they comment on their experiences?
I've just fitted a Witter tow-bar to mine, but the towing specs for the car appear to be rubbish!

Put it this way - I wanted to pull a Pug 206 CC back home for the missus, but even though that is only 1140kg compared to the ZS's 1230, the little Pug can supposedly lug about 550kg unbraked, or 1100kg braked, whereas the much bigger ZS is limited to 500kg and 1000kg.
I'm confident that the (ZS particularly in TD form) is quite capable of dragging about more than it says, but will be very nervous about being pounced on by plod.
