[C 5 Estate]

Has any one got a tow bar for my C5 estate they no longer require and would like to sell.

 

I am in Preston Lancashire.

There are some on ebay. Here's one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-C5-ESTATE-TOWBAR-2005-/181737621681?hash=item2a506808b1

Thanks John

When/if you do get one, you'll be pleased to know that there's no need to remove the bumper to fit it. Only the under cover needs to be removed. It can be cut and replaced but usually they are left off.

If using a second hand towbar I would be tempted to use new bolts since you will not know how they have been used or tightened up and may have been over stressed. You would need to check it for corrosion since the paint on new towbars does not last long. Have a good look at any welds for any cracks.

 

Personally I would not entertain a used one and the ebay one at £70 is not too far off a new one. This one from Towbars Direct is £106 new inc a towball and single electrics but does not inc a by-pass relay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flange-Towbar-Citroen-C5-Estate-2001-2008-inc-2004-Facelift-Tow-Trust-/140588579317?hash=item20bbbb79f5

  I got one for our C5 from them, being only a few miles away in Warrington and got all the necessary electrical bits for a 13 pin socket.

 

It may be worthwhile checking the threaded mounting points in your car are in good condition before you purchase a towbar.
