Theres 3 years you need to know.
1997 and before - loads you can drive/tow
1997-2013 - can tow up to 750kg GW trailer with a 3500kg GW vehicle giving 4250kg GTW OR you can tow a trailer weighing less than the unlaiden tow vehicle and within the tow vehicles allowed towing weight and as long as trailer and tow vehicle combined are below 3500kg GTW. It should be noted that they go off the plated gross weight of the trailer and IIRC also the plated gross weight of the car if it has one. Trailers over 750kg need to be braked and if a trailer has brakes fitted they need to work.
2013-onwards - cant tow shit pretty much.
Basically you cant tow a 306 on a trailer with a 306 but you could tow one with a 406 (just) and if your towing cars its very easy to start getting over weight. Think about it. 1500kg 406 plus 2 people and tools is another 300kg then a 1250kg gti6 on a trailer weighing 300kg and thats 3350kg which I'd be starting to worry about getting dragged to a weighbridge with.
Oh and its spelled trailer not trailor
