 Hi has any body got a tow bar for mk2 saloon 2000, for sale. The one I whould like is the sningle bar that bolts through the boot floor, not at the bumber eyes. dont need the ball or wiring, I only need to pull light weight trailer, so if you have one I would be grateful.

DO NOT fit a towbar only to the boot floor, irrelevant of the low weight you may think you are towing. It is only thin sheet metal and will not stand it.
The towabr should be a large bar behind the bumper, bolting through the rear bumper irons............this is designed to take the load, the under steady which does bolt to the boot floor is to steady the frame and stop it twisting.
Proper towbars come up on ebay for about £20-30 all the time.
Failing that, I just bought one for my MKII Saloon at this price, its currently at the the powder coaters being blasted and epoxy coated black..........
