United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Zermatt Silver
[SOLD] FL2 Witter Fixed towbar *****SOLD*****


I have just changed my tow bar for a detachable type and now have surplus a slightly (!) rusty fixed bar, complete with new trailer electrics. Obviously having been stuck underneath the car since 2007 it's a touch on the crusty side, but no worse than the proverbial crab's bum Very Happy

Looking for £30 for it, including electrics and a 50mm ball.

England 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Orkney Grey

I could be interested in this - just a couple of questions:

Is it complete with all the nuts and bolts and other little bits & pieces?
How easy is it to fit for someone with almost no mechanical skills? If it's considered tricky or worse, how many hours labour for a mechanic to do the job for me?
Are you planning a trip to Heathrow anytime soon (I live & work in Maidenhead about 15 miles west of Heathrow)?

Regards,
Dave

I have one of those and it took me about an hour and a half on the drive as I was taking my time, as long as your prepared to get your hands dirty and have some strength you will be fine. If you have never done anything like this and are not confident to get the nuts and bolts tight enough then I would get a garage to do it as it is potentially dangerous if not done correctly. Having said that it is very difficult to go wrong.
Don't think a garage would charge much. Like you said ensure all the bolts, etc are with it as they are all different and individual sizes. The electrics is straight forward as well, just plug and play but if you want parking sensors deactivated when the trailer is attached and you engage reverse then you need to give it to a dealer, which I think costs about £60.
Good piece of kit, pleased with mine and it was the first tow bar I ever fitted. You may want to consider painting or powder coating it before you fit it depending on anal you are about that sort of thing.
P.s. Bargain at that price!
