Can't remember exactly why this isn't a good idea but something to do with the wheels shouldn't be going faster than 5mph for a period of time without the engine running???

This was from an AA man but he said he was an ex subaru mechanic! Was so sure that he sent for a truck to pick my car up when the immobiliser played up a few years ago.

So did any of these people offer a plausible explanation as to why not to tow using an A frame?

As far is i'm aware the only thing your not supposed to do is tow them with two wheels off the ground, and i can't see any reason why you would not be able to tow one at 60mph as long as all 4 wheels are on the ground and it's in neutral with the diff open if it has dccd, and don't forget to leave the key in and steering unlocked.

Flat towing is not recommended for any distance. From memory its a max of 30mph. I will check in my towing manual when im home.
