Can Anyone Recommend Me A Towbar And Fitter

[The Ageless Stranger]

Hi all...

 

I have a 2004 2.3 Ghia Automatic, and am looking for a towbar for pulling a small trailer (I couldn't afford the petrol to pull anything else)! :lol:

 

I don't want to have the bumper cut unless it's absolutely necessary, and the car is fitted with rear parking sensors (which already have a fault). :lol:

 

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a fitter that was ideally reasonably cheap but also reputable - an oxymoron if ever there was one! :D

 

I am in the Cheshire/Manchester area...

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, have you thought about fitting it yourself as if you check Ebay you can pick up a tow equip one for about

I have...but I know I will make a pigs ear of it - I tend to be a bit slap-dash and don't really want to risk it to be honest

 

Would rather shell out a bit more, and get the right one...I think, the thing that puts me off is removing the bumper :lol:

I've always fitted my own - using Towsure mainly. Worth paying the extra for the customized electric wiring kit - no wire cutting needed, just 'plugs' in between existing wiring and rear lights - no problem. No hole drilling is required when fitting towbar - on Mk1 it replaces plastic bumper 'stuffing', on Mk2 it replaces metal bumper stuffing.

Chester Tow Bar and Trailer Centre nr the Greyhound estate are v.good and reasonable price too. I think they fit Witter. Unfortunately, most require cutting the bumper but this is underneath the vehicle so not visible unless you get under the car.

What is the current thinking on the best value removeable bar and do I go for a generic wiring kit or one from the stealers?

I had no problems fitting a TowSure Towbar & 12N electrics from Towequip to my MK1 Sharan. Took about an hour and a half and everything fitted perfectly. Edited August 27, 2008 by Beyond Help?

Hi, I used MDS Towbars, I think they are in Rochdale, The phone number is 01706 642302 also on the web if you type in MDS Towbars, they have an online quotation form. The beauty is they come to you, either to work or home and fit it! I think ours was around
