[lozz]

sorry carnt help with the bar.
but ive got the tow ball part plus fancy chrome plate on it,

if any good to you give us a shout,

[Gary406]

dont need 1 now lozz. my insurance have refused to upgrade my policy to buisness use towing cars. its a fkin joke i tell ya

and then wen i said to the woman its ok i'll just use it for personal reasons. she made it very clear that all calls are recorded bitch

[omega]

might be time to get a part time traders policy then

[Gary406]

think thats the only way nigel...

[lozz]

Gaz my old 406 had a tow bar on when igot it,
my insurers never asked about tow bars

just fit a tow bar if outs said it was already on when you got it,
itow what my licence says what ican tow the old 406 towed butty vans and all sorts, biggest thing was the mini digger me and a mate hired,

[Gary406]

its not the tow bar there bothered about mate.

its the fact i will be towing a car on a transporter trailor.

i asked to up my policy to buisness but they said no . so im gonna change insurance companys in the new year when my policy is up and just dont tellthem and say its a personal use thing if i ever get stopped.

but i cant do that now with my own insurance cos she made it so clear that calls are recorded and my enquiry will be kept on record in case i do ever try to claim and im towing a car on a trailor... but the new insurance wont know that cos i wont tell them

[plod]

On a legal note, you shouldn't be towing something greater in weight than the towing vehicle

So the weight of the trailer and car being towed on it, should be less than the car used to tow

thats a very good point Plod, often overlooked or ignored,

thats why i have just bought another disco

technically i can tow just about anything now, it worked out better to buy another disco than to have a bar fitted to the C5, once i factored in the cost of the fitting by citroen and then the additional fuel and consumables i would use up on the C5, it was a no brainer so i am fully prepared for my next trip over to blighty to pick up my toy from Dai, just a trailer to find now, but i think it would be better to buy one in the uk save me driving over with an empty trailer on the back.

so if anybody sees any going for a good price let me know, it only needs to carry about a tonne so doesnt have to be a biggy.

sorry for the hijack Gaz

[Gary406]

no probs disco.

well i didnt think about that. looks like that plan is definately a no no ......
