Tow bar?

[scotttait]

I have a tow bar fitted to my zs 180 mk1 saloon. I don't use it. It is all wired up to the lights etc, I don't have the (bar/ball) part. Where could I get one? Also if I want to take it off what will I do with the holes where the plates are mounted?

[Ritchy]

What make is it? Likely the manufacturer will just have a handful of balls for all the different bars(no sniggering)

[scotttait]

Ain't got a clue mate, will need to have a look tomorrow of I get under the car.

[shaunyd]

Maybe go outdoors mate i would asume they are all same size etc

[Ritchy]

Is it a quick detachable thing? Brink is one of the major manufacturers

[scotttait]

Ok just had a look, the only thing I could see was pct on the plastic cap for the electrics?

Do you have a plate facing backwards with 2 bolt holes?
If so it will be a universal fitting and anywhere that sells tow bar parts will have one.

Otherwise it will be a detachable fitting and you'll have to contact the manufacturer or their agent, there should be a small plate on the bar with the manufacturers name on it.

If you still can't work it out go to your local trailer or caravan sales place.

If you are removing it just put the bolts back in the holes.

They do both detachable and universal.

[scotttait]

It looks like the universal one.

[WalkerDnB]

Id take it off and compare it to the fitting instructions (http://www.pct.eu.com/automotive/Fitting%20Instructions/pdf/RV9284.pdf) to be sure

It should be obvious, if it is universal there will be a rear facing plate with 2 bolt holes, as I said earlier!

If there is no rear facing plate it will be a detachable fitting!

It looks like this, but without part B (the tow bar neck) and the ball at the end of it.

[talkingcars]

Contact the manufacture, my guess yours will be a detachable one, have another look for the load plate which should give you the model number.
