The bit arrived today. Or, it would have done, if Customs and Excise hadn't decided to help themselves to £5.92 and Royal Mail hadn't decided to help themselves to a further £8.00 for the joy of me having to pay them the £5.92

Red Merle; Hope you've got over the rage of being charged a handling fee just to help you pay the customs duty. Last time this happened to me I was pretty cross as royal mail then made it difficult for me to collect the parcel...

In order to fit, the horizontal bar had to be fitted upside down! But, it works perfectly

I found that the pin with R clip and tightening the side bolt stopped any movement and rattling. It was a bit scary when I hadn't tightened the second nut on the bolt properly and heard a series of clunks from the towbar.

Please would you put up a photo of the “side bolt” that you’re referring to?

Ditto - very interested to see this side bolt as well - don’t recognise the description for my setup. 2016 SDV8 AB |

Rather embarrassingly I don't know how to post pictures, and am not technical enough to benefit from instructions such as "it's dead easy, look at X", but if no-one else posts a picture you can PM me your email address and I will email you a picture of my towbar which has the anti-rattle bolt described, and you can post on here if you want.
