Towbar wanted
Hello all,
I could really do with a towbar for my XM hatch if anyone has one which is surplus to requirements?
Cheers,
Jonathan.

There was one knocking about e-bay very recently. Only a tenner too, and looked new.

Re: Towbar wanted
Thanks Robert, it's still there actually, although the seller seems unwilling to post it. There is a telephone number however, so I may just call him and attempt to persuade him tomorrow. Salisbury is a long way to go to pick up a towbar...

Get him to package it, and arrange a courrier to collect it.

Re: Towbar wanted
The seller is Pentons Garage in Salisbury.
Not at all far from me.
If it had stayed unbid for I would have put in a last minute bid and stored it until it was wanted by someone.
Can always collect it if you win and hopefully arrange its delivery.

Re: Towbar wanted
My mate in Wakefield is breaking his XM hatch very shortly, I'm fairly sure he'll be willing to part with it. Let me know if you're interested.

Link to cheap COURIER services, Interparcel - Economy £6.99 + VAT (£8.22) for up 30 Kg's for a package size of 140cm x 50cm x 20cm (which should cope for a tow-bar)robert_e_smart wrote:Get him to package it, and arrange a courrier to collect it.

Re: Towbar wanted
Thanks very much guys, I'll go after the ebay one unless it gets bid up to daft money, perhaps taking up John's kind offer if Roberts idea doesn't appeal to him. Failing that I'll try Ken's mate
Cheers!

Re: Towbar wanted
I got a new Genuine Cit Xm towbar from my local dealer for £40. I thought it was good value at that. Luckily I had the wiring from another XM that had a towbar.
