Hi. Does anyone have or know of a tow bar for a Mk3 Fiesta that is no longer required? I looked on ebay for one and they want stupid money for new ones. There are used ones for escorts, etc for about £20 but nowt for Fiestas at the mo. Can anyone help? Not bothered if it ain't pretty just as long as it's usable.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Ken

Dolomite tow bar for a Mk 3 Fiesta?<br>
Seems like a fair swap to me....<br>
<br>
<br>
Ho ho ho...<br>
<br>
Sorry couldnt resist and to be fair your post didnt really deserve that from the wording...<br>
<br>
<br>
I wouldnt want to use a Fiesta as a tow car though...very poor capacity, too light and short of wheelbase to be stable with anything more than a light garden rubbish effort.<br>

Funny enough Jon I was waiting for the comment, it just had to happen at some point. I love it when I'm not disappointed<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=

The Fiesta in question is a hefty diesel so it's not short of some torque and a bit of power. Plus when I'm in it I add about 19 stone of ex-biker to the weight of the car. <br>
<br>
I only want to tow a trailer for the usual garden junk and Dolly parts, nothing major. It's a shame cos there's a decent priced trailer on the bay but I'm stuffed without the towbar. There's always bungee cord I suppose<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=

Or has anyone got a towbar for a Dolly they don't want/need? That might be easier than getting hold of one for a fiesta<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=
