`we have the same car on a 57 plate, we have a swan neck tow bar with a bumper cut. when we bought the car this was the only option, as detachables and fixed balls dont fit because of the body kit.

you cant see the bumper cut as the fitter did a good job, but there is only limited clearance between the hitch and the bumper so you do have to be careful when hitching up.  If you have the 1.9 150bhp deisal they tow really well

Can you take some pictures of your please as im after getting one fitted to my 1.9 150 XP as well

Thanks

I have a cdti design with a towbar, i asked the fitter about the xp as i nearly got one, he said they have a different bumper, more like the vxr.

They have to have a lot of cutting to fit a towbar he was told and it wasnt recommended.

I have towed with the zafira, one thing I will suggest is dont get too close to the 1500kg max towing weight. My van is 1500kg mtplm, I packed it very light so nowhere near that and the zafira was still very unstable on the motorway.

So bad that I have swapped our other car out for a new tow vehicle as I was scared to continue using it.  And yes it was well packed a hitch weights correct etc etc.

could you tell me which towbar you used and were you got it from and price and maybe a few pictures please.

thanks loads
