If you are using a "blade" type stabiliser and not a "hitch" type .. then it is simple .. you buy a swan neck coupling adaptor

This is just one of many types and is for the "snakemaster" ... you need the correct one for your blade type stabiliser ..

OK see it now, Thanks


I looked at this but cannot see how that would connect. The towbar is slotted in underneath and about 6 inches in from the back bumper and then pulled forward to lock and hold making it all very neat and tidy but nowhere to attach anything, no plate or anything like that

Cheers

I put one similar to this on the detachable bar on my  Range Rover many years ago and it's never moved. I bought it secondhand for about £20.

Now that looks as if it may work  as I really do not fancy paying out nearly £300 until I know the family take to caravanning

Wow Thanks lads that's all brilliant stuff. What's more I even understood most of it. I don't pick the van up till end of the week so I don't know what its like as regards towing but I will make sure weight distribution is good and its not nose heavy (or light) then have a look at what can and can't be done using your suggetions

Hi
When I got my 2.6 Omega Automatic it came fitted with a detachable towbar with all the fittings underneath the car. Does anyone have any idea how I fit a stabiliser for my caravan to this?

Also if this is possible then is there a reasonably priced stabilser that will do the job

Thanks a lot

Omega General Help / Drivers seat motor not working

« on: 07 April 2011, 12:27:42 »

Hi, new on here.

Can anyone help please. The electric motor on the drivers seat is not working and I cannot adjust the seat. I press the button and it goes "clunk" that's it. Can I adjust it manually ? What do I need to do it/how do I do it?

Any help gratefully accepted

Thanks
