2001 v70xc/xc70 detachable tow ball

Philpage85 · Oct 5th, 2016, 08:10

Hi guys,

My car has the tow bar but not the detachable ball. Anyone got one knocking about? I did buy a v70 one hoping it would fit but it was too short 😢.

Thanks in advance

Phil

I can do you the removable ball, but you'd have to buy the rest of the towbar to go with it as I'd need to sell it complete.

Philpage85 · Oct 6th, 2016, 08:05

How much are you eanting for it posted?

Simon Jones · Oct 6th, 2016, 12:29

I'll get it out of storage this evening & check it over. Have you already got the electrics? If so, I could hang on to those to sell separately to bring the cost down a bit.

Here's what I've got. It's complete with all bolts, the plastic cover that is used when the hitch is removed, the hitch in a cloth bag & 2 keys.

It's currently setup with 12-pin electrics which I assume you don't need so I'll remove that first.

I don't know the exact courier costs, but its' pretty big & heavy so I was thinking in the region of £100 including delivery or £80 if you can arrange collection. I was in Padstow a few weeks back, but wont be down that way again for a while. Barnstaple is probably as close as I will be going around about Xmas.

Thanks for the pics etc. I'll have a think as I have the electrics and bar I just need the hitch.

Many thanks

Phil

No problems. I appreciate it's likely to be more than you'd be looking to pay just to get the tow hitch, although it's probably cheaper than replacing what's currently fitted and installing a fixed hitch version.

I'm having a clear out of P2 bits so I'll give it a few weeks and then I'll put the towbar in the relevant for sale section.

is the towbar still for sale?

Simon Jones · Oct 18th, 2016, 00:52

Yep, still available. If you're looking to fit it to a facelift model, I also have the trailer module that plugs into the REM:
