Westfalia towbar query

On the detachable section, can the rubber bung/grommet thingy at the top be replaced?

Give westfalia a ring.

They may or may not be able to help. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I'll give them a call on Monday- thanks.

Is it a critical part or just a dust cover?

Not sure but i think that they wouldnt make a loaded part out of plastic. As far as i can sus it the ball bearings are what holds the bar into the reciever...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

It's scrap apparently. Westfalia said they could repair it for £100 but said it wasn't worth doing

Does it not just help with location or as a light damper? Cant see it having much affect! FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Have a look on eBay for an obscure model one you can dismantle. I'm watching a couple that I can remove the lock off (mine is knackered). If I buy one and it has the spare you need you can have it. Watch this space....

Oh btw westfalia also fired me off. Get the impression they want to sell full units, not parts. My Previous RR's!

if you pull and twist your knob, do your balls go in a bit and loosen? try pushing it into the hole and it should stay in. if so, its working fine....i have a bit of rubber on mine too. looking at the pic, i would lube those balls! Razz
