Well, there is a towing eye in the pouch in the silver touring I tried to buy.

The previous owner (who is a zoner) might be using soon if he want's to collect his car from my drive. :x

Whilst kind of on this subject where does the tyre lever clip into on the tourings ?

The warning triangle and the wheel chock have a place to clip into but not the tyre lever ?

Does Andy mean the wheel chock? Andy? :)

Think that clips into the N/S cubby hole cover.

Gazza.....is the touring returning to it's previous owner!?!? Does he miss it?! :oops: :)

If he means the wheel brace, then tourings have a different clip for the jack (as I found out only last weekend, when I tried to replace a rusty one in my latest touring with a nice shiney one from a saloon), and the wheel brace clips under this as well as the jack.

Tyre lever, doh ! :mad: :oops:

Thanks for the info, i'm glad the wheel brace has a proper home as it rattles occasionally where i've got it placed now.
