Maybe a skods yeti? Check the weights but I think you'd be alright we used to tow 2 horses + trailer so around 2000kgs (but in France so slightly different laws) Nice cars for everyday driving as well as towing. Good mpg as well, and come in diesel version.

It's a very good point on the licence regulations. I was certain I would be fine towing the Midas when I picked it up. Trailer was about 130kg (I think because it was borrowed!), the Midas weighed about 700kg with all the spares so shouldn't have been too much of a problem. The tow car was a Nissan Navara though, and that weighs 3200kg according to its V5 when I thought it'd be no more than about 2300kg. Ouch! So I would've been over 800kg overweight if I'd been stopped. Luckily my friend who has full entitlement was able to drive it. Be careful guys...
A4 2.5 TDi estate is a good shout, especially if you can get a Quattro. Also the Octavia 4x4 and it's worth thinking about an E-class Merc. Plenty out there for cheap money.
