Re: Towing a Bongo
Two main reasons as I understand it,
1 - auto gearbox will self destruct if it's towed as the oil won't be pumping around, kinda like running the engine with no oil pumping round
2- 4wd will "wind itself up" , you could tow it if you disconnect the front propshaft, but you'd still have the issue of it being an auto (unless yours is one of the rare manual ones)

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
