(a) Are they saying the wiring kit (for indicators, brakes etc.) is included for the quoted price ?
(b) Is this site reputable/ good to deal with
(c) Is this towbar suitable for pulling car trailer with ride-on lawn mower ?
(d) How much should I expect to pay a garage to fit it ?

Any other tips ? (try dismantlers perhaps ?.... Cork city/ Ballincollig area)


Cheers

It can tow 1600kg so a rideon lawnmower should be ok. I have ordered from these before and received the delivery next day, no problems with parts either. As for other questions, couldn't tell you.

(A) You don’t get a wiring kit with the tow bar you have to buy it extra.
(B) i will highly recommend them have done business with them more than once
(C) Tow bar will pull that no problems will the Volvo is the real question
(D) To get some one to fit it the average quote was around €160 to fit so I ended up doing it my self its a pretty easy thing to fit. Looking at about 1h’s work. Most time consuming part is to remove the bumper of the car.


allot of places would not fit it for me as they only do supply and fit don’t really want to do a fit only.


hope this helps

a) yes it was included when i bought one for a focus
b) yes, excellent service on the 3 or 4 times i've dealt with them
c) yes, it is suitable for towing up to your manufacturers reccomendations which are between 1200 and 1400kgs depending on which model s40 you have
d)hard to call, varies from car to car depends on how easy it is to take off the bumper etc.

buy a new one, not worth the hassle of getting one from a breakers, hard to wrong at that price
