Title: HELP ME...PLEASE!!!!
Post by Paulus on May 21^st, 2006, 10:10pm

I have run out of spare time to fit my Towbar.

Can anyone recommend someone in Guildford that could do the job before Friday. I am going on holiday on Saturday morning.

No tow bar, no holiday!!!!

I have got the towbar and electrics, just no time to fit them.

Thanks for your help chaps. Unfortunately, I can't get anyone to fit a second-hand towbar for "liability" reasons. I am booked in to have a new one fitted on Friday.

Which brings me on to another point. The Trailer Centre wanted £200+vat to fit a towbar. I found a place in Birmingham (not far from where I live) that does it for £155 inc vat!!! Also, Towequipe in Nuneaton do it for £145 inc vat (but they couldn't squeeze me in this week).

North/South divide?

Take care, many of the lower price jobs will only 'scotch lok' the wires, if they are soldered in properly expect to pay more.

I'm not worried about scotch locks at the moment. I just need it to work for one week whilst I am on holiday. I will solder them up when I get back.
