    Was that south of Canberra? We could see the snow at the top of some mountains from Commonwealth Park yesterday but saw nothing around Capital Country Holiday park (your neck of the woods I guess) where we stayed.

    Ron I was on my way to Lithgow for a day driving along the Turon River. It snowed most of the way from just north of Goulburn to Oberon and the snow was heaviest around Oberon, where this was taken,

    At home we only had light snow mostly just sleet, the place where you stayed at is just 10 minutes from our property. I have seen some snow on the Brindabella Mountains from work but not much.

    2019 Discovery SDV6 HSE Lux Carpathian Grey

    Whippetman, the 40i engine is a peach. You won’t regret it, if the package of the car works for you.

    It’s also capable of incredible feats of economy when treated gently. Had many runs over 45mpg in my 440i GC.

    What did you order? Laughing

    Also, if you need any help with deals drop me a PM and I will send you a couple of links/suggestions. There are usually some cracking offers to be had with BMWs.

    That looks a great set up, but not so if you get a flat tyre I presume?

    2018 Discovery Si6 HSE Lux Santorini Black

    Picked up 1500kg of coal and 3 x 1 tonne builders bag full of seasoned logs yesterday. All set for the winter now.

    Car pulled the load flawlessly. Trailer was steady as a rock. Having 4 shocks on trailer makes such a difference, compared to my older Ifor Williams which bounced and rattled so much even when loaded.

    Could hardly tell the car was pulling a heavy load, only slightly noticeable up a steep incline. Well happy with its towing capabilities. Nothing comes near from any competitor, in my opinion Smile

    Hope you did several trips as you would have been over the towing limit of the D5!!

    I would never overload it. Asking for trouble. Not worth the risk of a fine or damaging the trailer components.
    Did 2 trips, one with coal bags, the other with logs. Trailer was fully brimmed both times.
    Even though the logs were in 1 tonne builder bags, unlike sand or pebbles which are alot denser, the 3 bags were roughly 400-500kg each.
    The trailer could have held more logs as the suspension was no way near as maxxed out compared to the coal run, which was exactly the maximum allowed weight.
    Not to mention, with the seats down, the boot can also hold 900kg max, so plenty of extra space if need be.
