+1. Their stuff is very well made but beware the time between ordering and receipt can be a bit long.

OK, so no, but it was worth a ponder. ;-)

Interesting. Do you think that attaching a block of zinc to a standard chassis (available from boat chandlers) would slow down corrosion?

You could be right, I really don't know. The owner prior to the previous one replaced the chassis so I have no knowledge of its origins. I had thought it was a Marsland. I suspect it may be as you say but if it is a TD5 cross member grafted onto a 300 TDi chassis it has been done professionally...

Hi Harry well it arrived this morning and..............................................it doesn't fit. See current 'tow bar - completely perplexed' thread. looks like I may just have to modify it.

Get the Richards. I have a Marsland and am having a bugger of a time sourcing the correct tow bar - see the current 'tow bar - completely perplexed' thread ;-)

I'm beginning to think it is bespoke.............................and that worries me.

I may be forced to but would like to find out first what I have and why there appears not to be an off the shelf solution. I assume,:), that the tie down holes in the chassis legs are positioned the same distance forward of the rear of the rear cross member on both TD5 90 and 110. Am I right...

What should have been an easy job has become something of a nightmare. I had ordered a Dixon Bate tow bar for my 1995 300TDi 90 only to find it didn't fit. Thankfully the eBay seller gave a full refund. Some on the forum here identified that the galvanised replacement chassis had a TD5 rear...

Well done that man! I had looked over the Marsland site but missed that bit of info'. I had contacted marsland but they actually denied using TD5 crossmembers - strange. Ordered up a Witters tow bar for a TD5 110 including electrics for £89. Fingers crossed.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, looks like I am going to have to take my tape measure to the supermarket car park and stalk a TD5 110. :eek:

How did you take the dent out after painting? And why not before? Just wondering.

I am back in the UK and want to carry on the the quest of installing a tow bar on my 90. From the previous thread I started it appears that my 1995 300 TDi has been fitted with a TD5 galvanised replacement chassis. No shock then that the Dickson Bate one I ordered for a 300 TDi didn't fit (It...

Actually, I just noticed mine is a bit different - ask them about PM609TE which has integral towing eyes and I got it for £56 delivered. Nice heavy duty bit of kit.

I got one of these about 2 months ago and it was an easy fit, well made, and good value. Oh and about 2-3 days arrival from ordering.
