    high level rear lights on towcar

    Hello, if a towcar has high level rear lights, (indicators etc), and you are towing a trailer and the rear indicators can be clearly seen above the trailer, (obviously not a caravan), do you require indicator lights on the trailer? I assume tail and brake lights are compulsory. Thanks for any...

    Towbar tidy up

    The towbar on my towing vehicle, (VW Caravelle), was fitted by the dealer at the time of ordering the vehicle new in 2001. I was dismayed to realise upon delivery that the towbar had been fitted in black primer paint only and very quickly rust patches began to appear, I painted all visible...

You have to align the groove to the rear of the roller when...
