Iv got one, and have used it on mine, my one simply attaches to where the
front bumper mounts, ie into the chassy box sections, it took a mate of mine 15 min to make, and cost about Ł20 in bits, they tow fine aswell.

Can you tow a 2wd cossie for a long distance ? I know a 4x4 can only be towed for 5 or 15 miles max.

I think your supposed to hook it to the steering arms so the car turns with the lead car. But of corse it has the pivot ball on the front so it should turn ok no matter where to attach it.

Dunno m8, I always thought you couldn't tow a 4x4 (not sure about a 2wd), so much so that when mine conked out I asked for a low loader. The AA chap looked in his book and said it's be ok to tow up to my house (a few miles), but no further
