2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Corris Grey

WTD: Tow Ball

Hi,

Does anyone have a spare tow ball lying around?

Ideally I am after a combination one but a basic would do for now. Black if possible

Thanks in advance & I can arrange collection too!

I can offer you a new Dixon Bate 3.5t combination hitch - used twice but looks brand new.

£50? John

Pretty sure I have an ordinary one lying around you can have and may even have some bolts but it might be easier to order what you want (quick delivery!) as the bolts needed maybe different to the one you will eventually want to put on!

I am junc 8, M25 if you want mine though

Can you replace a ball type with a ball/pin type?

We have this:

But I rather like these -better for towing cars out of ditches I believe?!

Okay - from where may I be able to purchase said item?

Mine's in next week for a few bits and bobs so I might ask them too.

New light surrounds, new boot floor carpety grabber bit (it's corroding like hell), new crossmember bolts, a good Waxoyling and some more roof sealing. Should hopefully see us through the Winter...

Most towing / trailer places sell them. The cheaper ones come with tow ball as part of the removable pin and the stronger / dearer ones with a seperate pin and the ball is part of the main bracket. For recovery you should get a rated hitch (3.5t).

As said earlier I am selling my new Dixon Bate hitch for £50 if you're interested. Used twice and cost me £80 a few months ago.

It is this one;

I've got brand new unused LR-original tow ball mounting bolts (because I used a STIG kit on mine)...but I am a long way away unless you're holidaying in Scotland soon. Free to collect as well

It will fit your standard towbar and not a bad price from John either. I've got one
