OEM Towbar for Saloon **ACQUIRED** - Page 4

Reebmit · 12th May 2013, 05:42

hi all, update, Rod did get me one and it works brilliantly!

Needed to tow a trailer with car on over weekend, just slotted tow bar in and hey presto, dragged a large trailer and track car 320 miles over a morning, got home and just removed bar, put in bag and now back in boot.....just perfect! all I will say is keep hunting if you need one as they are out there!

Did anyone have luck obtaining a key?

thanks Wullie, I read your part about punching the lock out but had been wondering if anyone had been able to get a key.

I will probably end up doing as you suggest

Hi All

I done the procedure tonight and managed to get the towbar lock out and the towbar removed.....unfortunately the locking mechanism pin snapped so im unable to refit!

does anyone know if you can source these separately?

I have a complete towbar for sale but I suppose you don't want the whole thing?

well that's the thing I don't really need the whole lot, just this catch, I have been trawling through google to see if it comes separate!
