Can You Tow with a Bongo?

Hi,
A topic on a Facebook Forum, Mazda Bongo Helpful Group (UK), has recently had a person, Patrick Pedro Duffy, state that Bongos cant legally tow in this country because we don't have the Gross Vehicle Weight on the Vin plate???

Re: Passenger footwell Draught ?

Sounds like the Recycle Flap might not be closing properly, if you look under the dash in the Passengers foot well you will see a screen/filter. This is where the air recycling takes place.

Passenger footwell Draught ?
