Hi Nigel, there was one on eBay a few weeks back, but different model to the one I need, not sure if it would suit yours though.

That's the only one I've seen on there in six months, so I guess they are fairly rare second hand.

Might Benfur on here have one ? He breaks ( or used to ? ) LS400s.

You might be lucky !

He is, but last time we spoke, he's no longer actively breaking LS400s "at the moment", that may change (maybe already). He does still have some spares in stock, unsure about towbars.

I bought a brand new towbar for my L-plate Mk2, I think the same one will fit the Mk3, but don't quote me on that. I got mine from towequipe, I also got their 7-way electrics box, I fed the power from the electric aerial feeder (as my eleccy aerial never worked, there was no competition for the power, and I never blew the fuse in 3 years of towing a variety of trailers). The only problem I've had with the towequipe unit is, the towbar is removable, and the single heavy-duty bolt that holds it in place has ovalled the hole it goes through, so you get some interesting clonks while towing. Eventually (years down the line) this might cause a failure, but for now it's just a bit annoying.

You're supposed to fit an autobox oil cooler as well, for towing, I never bothered and never had a moment's trouble, despite hauling a 1 ton race car on 1/3rd ton trailer up and down the country.
