the only problem with removing the towbar when I get rid of the car is the big square hole in the bumper.

you would have thought that the designers of the car would have made it with a removable panel.

HI Mike+ Judi,

If it is the "new" Galaxy, I am told the electrics use the Canbus system, so you may be tied to Ford dealer to fit a towbar.

Ford do not have a monopoly on CANBUS interfaces, there are more coming on the market everyday. Even if you use a third party device it will not cause any warranty issues as long as it connects to the Ford connector and no scotchloks are used.

That's not what Ford have told my leasing Company....therefore there is not much I can do.

I do nor want to fall out with the guy who runs the leasing company (he has "looked after me" in the past) so will tow the line.

I'm sure you are right though Ray, it a restrictive practice and Ford are abusing thier power here.
