Tow Bar Installation

    Ok, so I picked up a second hand SMAX yesterday. I want to put tow bar onto it. Not going to ask garage as they are trying to get back everything on the few quid they gave me back. I thought it would be easy to get someone to stick one on but can't find anything on google/donedeal/adverts

    Had a quick look at Ford website and think it was around 600 quid I think once you get all the extras.

    Would this be correct? is there any company installing? I see in UK there is loads of companies that will just come to house and install pretty cheaply

    Thanks, I am in Dublin but might be worth spending a weekend in Cork to get it fitted :-)

    Towing equipment, 01 456 6780. Just off the Naas Road behind woodies.

    Should be under 400 for a fixed tow bar.

    Thanks, when I got in contact the website prices are out of date and they do not include VAT

    Still waiting for a few others to get back, also price checked in North so will see what they come back with as well

    Most smaller Mechanics will fit one for you. you can order one from any Motor Factors, or even cheaper to buy one on ebay.co.uk from towfit or towsure.
