Swan Neck tow bar
Hi all,
I have just bought a 740 Turbo estate with a swan neck tow bar fitted. It is a genuine Volvo item but the ball is pitted and rusty. Can I buy the replacement neck and ball and do I need to go to Volvo for this ? I have got a week to sort this out before my caravan hols. Any help here will be much appreciated. Richard |

Try contacting "Rufe" on here he works for a dealership in Wales & if anyone can tell you he should be able to send him a PM or call him on 01792790066 during normal working hours.

I took a good look at the original Volvo towbar that is probably 20 years old and considered how much we love our 3 year old caravan (Bought new), then decided a new one was the wise choice.
