Tow Bars

[Busman]

Has anyone fitted a tow bar themselves or should they really be left to the dealers. I have fitted one years ago to a Mk5 cortina but have not been down that road for some time.Also anyone give an idea on prices?

No sweat, dead easy, even the holes are drilled already.

 

I used towsure and it was fine, twin electrics.

i have had a fixed tow bar fitted for me, i now wish i had a removable tow bar, as sometimes, the sensors pick up the tow bar, and give false warnings, usually when the cover isn't quite on right.

 

a lot of people seem to go for towsure

I had mine fitted professionally this time due to lack of time to do it myself, but it is a very simple DIY job, wiring is no problem either you can find the wiring details on the internet easily.

[Another?Maybe!]

Just had a towbar fitted professionally to the Gal, cost

ive got the alko ball, and the alko cover, when i first had it, my sensors would just think there's a wall there, but then i removed the covers on the electrics, and it works fine, most of the time. however, if the cover on the ball, isnt on tight, then it messes with the sensors.

 

i think you can get the sensors adjusted, but it all costs money :huh: :)

 

i still wish i had gone for a removable ball :)

The sensors won't 'learn' anything, theres no intelligence in there artificial or otherwise.
