    Has anybody in the UK got a tow bar for a 940S estate going spare?
    I have had a look and it appears that the bar is a straightforward bolt on job,
    4 threaded holes in each chassis rail, is this correct?

    I have a spare aftermarket one, ie. non Volvo on a car I'm going to scrap.
    It's a 740 estate it's on, but I would reckon it's the same fitting. I'm up
    in Scotland tho, in Dunfermline.

    Yes a 740 tow bar will fit (at least when dealing with wagons). We have had
    the same one since 1985 on a 740 GLE 8V, it was then moved to an 89' 740 16
    V, then in 93' to a 960, where the wiring harness was changed to a 4 prong,
    from a 6 prong (we don't have electric brakes, and the wiring harness was
    becoming problematic)

    Hi Stuart, how much do you want for it?
    If reasonable and the Royal Mail dont want an arm and a leg to post it I may be
    interested.

    The non-Volvo tow bar that was attached to my 940 estate did not fit
    properly, and interfered with the exhaust. The cowboys that fitted it
    turned the exhaust back box upside down to try to clear the tow bar side
    pieces and angled the rear curved section down aswell. The end result was
    the exhaust hit the suspension occasionally and rattled alot. I've now
    removed it and fitted everthing correctly as I don't have a use normally for
    a tow bar.

    The reason I related this is I think it was a aftermarket tow bar for a 740.

    Looks like the bugger doesn't want to come off, I've spent a while at it. It
    is rusty and probably not worth having. It's on a C reg btw.
    Sorry.
