Where is the front tow eye?

[Jfox]

Hi all,

my dads van wouldnt start earlier and he needed a tow, luckily we managed to bump it (suspected starter motor).

but while looking to see if we needed to tow it i could not find the front tow eye, yes front because because i couldnt get the back cover off hahahaha (which is my next question).

The aim was to reverse him back up the street so we could get a run before it went back up hill again... As you guessed living in wales has plenty of hills.

So here are my questions:

1)Where is my front tow eye (i know i have the screw in eye with the wheel brace, but cant find the hole where it goes into )

2)Do i need to get back down the gym so i can pull the back tow eye cover off or is there some little trick?

Cheers

Dont laugh at me

remove lower offside grill.
you then need to screw in the tow eye. (look in the boot)
note: ITS A REVERSE THREAD!

Lower offside thank you!

Yeah i knew where the tow eye is just not the hole for it haha..

btw, to remove the cover on the back to get at the rear tow eye, just give it a good tug?

 

[andycupra]

yes, and if you think thats hard work wait till you have to put it back on!

it has those arrow head type metal clips things...just dont bend the bumper if its really difficult
