Hi, new to this and a bit daft i know! This morning i'm on way to pick up my new (2nd hand) Pennine Fiesta. I've just had a shiny new tow bar fitted but don't know if i need to grease it or not. I've read that if the hitch is an Alko it doesn't need grease. My question is, what is the hitch on a Pennine and will it need grease?

will depend on the age of the unit,they have always used alko,but not with the inbuilt staberlizer.
does it have a normal silver type hitch?or does it have a red handle you have to lift to get it on the ball?

in saying all that i don't belive they ever fitted the staberlizer to that unit,well not before 2010 anyway.

then it's a normal hitch,and you should grease the ball.
