Try the breakers or possibly ebay. But be wary of using a secondhand towbar for anything other than pulling a small trailer. You'll never know its history.

Hi John,

 

thanks for the leads.  Only intend to use for small trailer for trips to the local tip and such.

Have a look at this topic http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/23022-2006-c5-estate-tow-bar-wanted/

 

The price difference between an old towbar and a new one when you add the likely cost of all new bolts is not enough to make the possible risk of an old one failing worth the bother. Towbar bolts are all high tensile ones so you would need to source the right strength, could be 8.8 or higher.

Good advice.

 

Thanks

Once you have fit your towbar you need to inform the insurance company and they will note it as a modification. There should not be a charge for this but it stops them finding a way out of not paying a claim.
