This will teach me to check where the battery is before opening my keyboard!

Thanks

The "cheap" towbars for S40/V50 don't use all the manufacturers mounting points for one thing .. they hang off the rear beam and have no stays to the chassis further forward as do the volvo ones . These stays I believe are part of the crashworthiness ...
