Isn't it about time car makers got their fingers out?

yes no problem,look in the handbook and it will give you the maximum towing weights the manufacturer recommends,both with or without breaks on the trailer you are towing.Most organisations recommend that you only tow something with a maximum weight of 3/4 of the gross weight of your own vehicle for stability and safety reasons.You should be able to tow most lightweight caravans up to about 17 ft with your Astra.
