Many thanks, what I didn't understand is that some suppliers said they wouldn't touch it as having Peddars fitted instead of the ride height meant the tow bar frame wouldn't fit as it used part of the ride-height structure as a mounting point...

I would like to fit a towbar to our 2.0 XT 2005 Forester. But the usual places say here's no stock and no-one is making it anymore, even commercial eBay sellers. Also we had a Pedders suspension fitted when the auto-level system failed 5 years ago, and so the only place (PF Jones, Manchester) that said they might be able to get a tow bar, when I said it didn't have the auto-ride height fitted, said they can't get the towbars if that's been removed. Apart from waiting for a 2005 Forester to come up for sale with a towbar that isn't rusted, and take it off that what other choices are there, or towbar models I can try? Is the issue with the Pedders system actually a problem? Many thanks for any advice.
