Looks like it's the A1 towbar, about the sturdiest you can get - http://www.just-tow.co.uk/mazda-bongo-f ... owbar.html - click on the fitting instructions pdf to see what it's like to fit. Not too difficult if you have basic mechanical skills, you'll have to drill holes & it'll be best to prep & properly paint (hammerite or similar) the towbar before fitting & I'd advise getting waxoil in where you can on the chassis as well. Think it took me a couple of hours to fit, I think it cost me @£90 delivered with towball & electrics from ebay, check what you get for your money :wink:

Thanks - but just wondering there are two towbars shown on the website for the Bongo - one is with A1 as you say but it is Mazda Bongo Friendee etc and the other is just Mazda Bongo is there a difference other than price!
