AlanW Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Has anyone got a new shape Focus estate fitted with a detachable tow bar (or even a normal one would suffice) that could post a couple of pictures please? I am seriously thinking of getting one fitted just to transport bikes about, expensive option I know, but I don't like the idea of three/four bikes on the roof! And having come from a Mondeo estate, I've now lost 300mm interior length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I hang 2 mountain bikes off the back of a Mk2.5 estate with a 6 strap bike carrier, no probs; much cheaper option than the tow bar route. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one once and it was more hassle than it was worth. I just want to clamp a carrier on and be away with the least amount of bother as possible!

AlanW Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Having got some quotes yesterday, me thinks its time for a rethink! £550 to supply and fit a Witter detachable tow bar and single electrics, but then you have to take the car to a Ford dealer to have a "update" on the CanBus system. How much do you think the dealership would charge to do this, simple 5 minute job? £106.....the robbing swine's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I use a strap rack for my bikes, it only takes 10 minutes to fit and is very stable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
