Hi

I am collecting my 2015 1.6 dci Signature today from the local Renault dealership. The original owner had the retractable towbar option factory fitted however the towbar has been removed.

I have searched the internet high and low but am unable to find an after market retractable towbar. It seems pointless having to have a new towbar fitted when all the necessary parts are in place and the only part missing is the towbar.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the original retractable towbar?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I can't believe that someone has gone to the trouble to remove the old one to put on a new Kadjar, if and when I sell mine it goes with the towbar and I would buy a new car with one factory fitted.

You say retractable tow bar ... bit more info please... I fitted an original retractable tow bar if I was to remove it all the tow bar would be taken away . The wires etc are plug and play so it’s just a case of unplug and away you go. If it was a full factory retractable bar on the near side you will see a small part of the carpet wall cut away or the locating point for the toggle switch ... Or has the previous owner had a removable tow bar where he has only taken the swan neck... if this is the case you will be able to contact the manufacturer or a supplier of tow bar and get a new swan neck ...

Is it possible, that the swan neck is there, but just folded (under the bumper)?

Hi AOne

I have just looked under the vehicle and I have attached some images. It looks like the towbar may be there and it may be that the release in the boot is not working. I am taking it back to the dealership today and I shall show them the pictures.
