Tow bar?

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?

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

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.
