I am trying to locate the correct towball to fit on an X308. Car already has the towbar & all electrics etc. underneath.

I think that it is a 'swan neck' towball that I need.

does anyone have any ideas where to buy one from - have searched web, no joy so far!

confused

Thanks guys

If the towbar has a standard 2 hole fixing plate on it then you can buy the ball at any caravan or trailer dealer.

Otherwise it may be a "quick release" tow ball & the ball has been misplaced. Are you sure its not lurking under the spare wheel? If not you may be able to find a plate or stamp on the bar indicating who the manufacturer is (witter, brink etc)& contact them for a replacement ball.
