hi guys

my car got stuck on some mud and found a panel that comes out at the front by the headlight and inside that was a hole which i assume a pulling pin screws into so another car can help me pull my car out with some straps.

i have had a good look around and i dont think i have one.

does anyone know what part number is please?

many thanks guys :)

Every Focus MK3/MK3.5 should have one as standard.





It is either part of the spare wheel kit or the emergency tire repair kit. In both cases it is located in the foam insert.


If it is not there someone must have taken it out.

They don't unfortunately, my mk3 estate doesn't have the thread to screw a towing eye into in the chassis or the eye

That seems really strange.

I have seen dozens of MK3s, and all of them had the towing eye and threaded inserts in the bumper bars as standard.

Next to the Kuga, we also have a Focus MK3 ST with a factory-fitted subwoofer and emergency tire repair kit—including the towing eye.

Could it be something else that Ford UK eliminated to cut costs?

many thanks guys for the replies

unfortunately i dont have that foam thingy, all i had with the spare wheel was a round plastic thing with a wire connected to it, when i googled it, people are saying its a subwoofer? i find that extremely strange as i have never heard one being standard on a car.

i will have one more look tomorrow though.

It's an option on the kuga too, I only know as I needed to help someone move a broken down car recently, couldn't find the eye in my focus, asked a neighbour who has a 19 plate kuga and he said his didn't have it and it was an option and then when I took the cover out my rear bumper to work out what length I'd need found there wasn't the chassis mounted bit to screw into.

The subwoofer is standard on Titanium X. These come with the Premium 10 speaker Sony audio system. That's a mid & tweeter in each door, plus a sub in the boot and a central front speaker on the dash top.

I think the spare wheel kit for the estate might be in one of the side pockets. If you've got a spare wheel then it must come with a jack and brace, even if it doesn't come with the tow hook.

thank you tom, you are right, the jack are in the side door in the boot but no eye tower which is a shame.

found some on ebay for around 20 pound but will use the part numbers from previous comment.

Yeah, just different seller part numbers.

Was having bit of a clean and took abit of the boot mat off and guess what I found?

Didn't think I had one, there was even a nut wrench in there even though I have one in the side door in the boot. Very strange.
