should there not be a foam pad attached to the crash bar???

JJ

[Alex]

Yes there is.

[Problemchild]

i can't find the part number...

i have my eye on a crash bar on ebay - only £9.99 at the moment but it doesn't have that pad - neither do others ones.

JJ

Is it possible the crashbar comes with the foam, but it's not shown?

Or maybe the foam is part of what the bumper comes with.

[Problemchild]

found it.... part number 70

I knew ya would find it if ya kept looking....

[funkydoodycool]

Yeah I meant to say in my previous comment about it being part of the bumper that it might be listed on the page with the bumper parts on.

Another interesting comment - crash bar at breakers £60 without impact absorption strip. Merc £36 (inc discount)!!!

Merc defo aren't a rip off!

I'll second that! i hate it when people assume that main dealers will be expensive and buy parts what they think are cheap when the dealer would have been cheaper overall!

[Problemchild]

yup - split rivets were 21p each

Good job jj. How did u get your discount from them? Was it that charming smile of yours?

[Problemchild]

Haha - no.... My sister works for a large chain and she can get smart Oxford to order her bits.

there is one thing i carnt understand... why buy a motor home and then tow a car behind? after all you can drive to you destination (camp site) in your motor home and then drive to where you want in the same vehicle and then back?!
