would never buy a second hand one off ebay. never buy anything secondhand off fleebay again ever....been had once too often.

try your local dealers.

not really that expensive new anyway

ps yep that what you need.....

thanks for  your reply,, just wanted some kind of an idea to what i needed,, will check out the local dealer.

    cheers,  mike

yes thats fine if it is not a secondhand one.  Item number: 190234610931

ok whats wrong with a second hand bar type stabiliser if it's been looked after .All you need to do is either clean or replace the friction pads and adjust it,

I agree, there's not much that can go wrong with them.

I can throughly recommend one of these

I have never towed with anything which was quite as stable.

AL-KO AKS 3004 Triple kit only £205 Brand new HERE

Just bought one for my new 'van. If you bought the Stabiliser, lock, Tow Ball, Cover etc all on there own you'd be talking well over £300, so at £205 its a bargain!!!

What price safety?

Or if you want the old school style stabiliser, the SAS one is only £69.99 HERE
