i've got one on mine , and so has andy , they are a beutiful car to tow with (29mpg :smug: i love rubbing it in ) the tow bars are a peice of wee to fit , just remove the rear bumper and slot the tow bar bracket into the chassis rails do up the bolts and hey presto :thumbsup: , as for buying one do a search on google etc :thumbsup:

ah that aint bad like

remove the rear bumper? :inquisiti

[psbarham]

well it would look a bit silly gaffa taped to the bumper , so in order to keep the car looking its best it fits behind the bumper , only about 10 m6 bolts hold it on

i see from how i read it it read like i was to remove it permanently! :)

Yep :thumbsup:
See you got witter PSB, mine too they're the supplier for mitsi uk I believe.
If you need electrics (for lights etc) you can get a kit (wires plugs relays etc) probably from the same plce as the tow bar and these normally come with instuctions diagrams and should be quite easy to follow

LOL - did the same thing :thumbsup:

you should hear the one on the transit , the tw@ts that fitted it put it on the chassis , every time we went near a t junction old people would dive for cover thinking it was an air raid , half a roll of gaffa tape soon sorted that out :thumbsup:

Sorry to ressurect such and old thread, but can anyone tell me if the electrics for a tow bar need to be spliced in or is there a dedicated plug with a harness being available from the dealer?

I would prefer the harness idea but can cope with splicing.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, and great avatar, lol

I'm not bothered about the scotch loks but I did one on a cavalier and had a bit of a fiddly ob with it an then discovered there's a harness connector.
