That's great, I would love to collect but it's just too far. Once I know the weight I can get the courier arranged. Pm me your contact details.
Looks like the part weights are 35kg and 12kg after a quick google. Length and width would be needed to to price up delivery.

i will get under the range tomorrow morning after dropping kids off to school and measure up..i will now p.m you,cheers

sorry for the latish reply but iv'e been under the range this morning and turns out the under carriage( the part where the tow bar is connected to, that bolts under the vehicle) is both bolted and welded to chassis, if you can image being the under vehicle at the rear the furthest part being near the back wheel and nearest being the bumper,you're facing heads up ,the furthest part of this contraption is bolted onto the vehicle but the nearest part is welded to the back cross bumper member,where you have the towing eye and it also supports the two hook that my exhaust is attached to,looks like this was all done at factory thus why i have these little red keys in a compartment in the rear of the range under one of the compartment near to where all the relays and some fuses are,,,i'm really off as i wanted this off my vehicle,because one i don't tow anything and two i thought by taking this extra dead weight (40/50 kg) off the car it would make it lighter...iv'e also had a guy that does motor mechanics from his home come have a look and he came to the same conclusion,all that can be taken off,which has already been taken off,, is the heavy bendy bit that protrudes from the back that you attach what ever your towing too....if any one can or has seen or dealt with this issue before please let me know,or if anyone that has one that was there when they bought the vehicle could perhaps have a look at theirs and help me out..going to blog this in the maintenance section and maybe others can shed light..
regards steve

You will need the original exhaust hanger brackets if you remove the tow bar to replace on the car

thanks steve9bug..after opening a thread about this in the maintenance section and getting replies from many helpful members on here i would like therefore to say that this item is no longer for sale due to a lack of understanding from my end of the whole safety lay out aspect of this tow bar and its assembly of how its put together and the role it plays,please accept my deepest apologies...looking like the tow bar will have to stay under my range.. sorry plant

No Problem.......The search continues!

This any use:-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271289457912

Depends on the year it changed in 2005 the exhaust brackets are different that's why I never bought one I also been one for a 54 reg and did not want to alter a new unit
