    What towbar?

    Thank you pf, that was what I was inclining towards. I will just confirm that the X-type has no hidden problems with bypass electrics before I go ahead and seek quotes.

    What towbar?

    Thanks for the replies. Given that I'm not too clever at bending down, would I be best served with a Flange type with the electrics mounted on a plate to the side rather than a Swan neck where (I believe) the electrics are mounted under the bumper? Also, as this is now an old car and there are...

    What towbar?

    I always thought a towbar was a towbar but now I find that there are different types/specs and different electrics too. I need to equip my 2005 Jaguar 2.0 diesel X-Type with a towbar and electric system in order to tow a 14' Burstner single axle van with a 13 pin electric system (no battery)...

    I borrowed your idea of looking on Youtube Ray (good thinking!) and found a vid that shows the 400 series. Your vid shows the 490 which is larger. It would appear that the 400 series has four stud wheels. Do you think they are 5.5inch? The man at Burstner that my email was directed to is off...

    Hello. I have bought a 2001 Burstner Ventana 400 TS which is on a site in France. In order to move it I will need to put some decent tyres on it. My plan is to source some wheels and tyres in the UK and take them to France with me to slot straight on without faffing around over there. I...

    Dogs abroad.

    Still had to zap my two girls when I came through the tunnel a few days ago. They have to do something to justify the £18 per animal each way! Up to 9 passengers for no extra fee but £18 for a pet - extortion. I go through the tunnel 4/5 times a year and it gets awfully expensive.
