I need a reliable, sub-£10k vehicle to tow a horsebox. What do you advise?
I'm looking for a good tow car under £10,000 to tow a horsebox with minimum braked towing weight of 3000kg. Running cost and reliability are most important.

We'd recommend a Toyota Land Cruiser. You'll be looking at quite an old one (probably from around 2007) but they're very reliable and capable of towing 3000kg. Alternatively, a SsangYong Rexton makes an excellent tow car and you'll get a much newer one for your budget.
