[Naked Insurance, has anyone had any issues?]

Really good service from them, got paid out for damages on a alloy stumpy no issues or hassles

It's a damn shame we do not get these here in SA.

The only issue seems to be exhaust noise which can be resolved by changing out to stiffer hangers

Apologies for that, as he is the way way way more technical engineer tool type dude than I will ever be 

Roof racks is what I have,  freerides and they awesome. 

@ChrisF I agree roof racks is best options but as per thule he needs some stabilizer bar between the 2 wing bars due to some issue with the short roof of the ST....not to sure.

But the towbar rack is just so much better as he has that on his wifes SUV.

And what makes him want it more, I had my bike on the roof racks this wknd, and a overhanging branch  strategically hit my brake lever, into pieces.

My dumb @ss  took different way home and bhammmm????????????...

 

Anyhows this fool can come reply to his own thread @ridohg

Shot bro been in meetings

Thanks for all the feedback guys.

I have tried numerous Supaquick and other towbar places in Cape town and surrounds but no one had anything for the ST.

There is a place in Jhb who makes towbars for st, but they want me to bring vehicle to Jhb to fit which is slightly inconvenient.

Will he use the towbar for anything else ?

 

Worth considering the Thule roof rack options.  For the next vehicle it is just a new set of "foot packs", a LOT cheaper than yet another towbar.

 

 

For most trips the "platform rack" is simply the easiest to use though.

 

 

 

It wont be the Hub if we did not come back with an unsolicited answer .... 

Only for bike , I have a van to pull a trailer

If he's specifically referring to the current generation ST, it's a 1.6 Turbo engine. If he's referring to the previous generation ST, it's a 2l naturally aspirated engine. He's fine in terms of laws.

is the car still under warranty ? If so check with Ford what fitting the t/bar will do to your warranty

Ford does not have towbar for st

Also they say it will void warranty, mine is out of warranty though

Hi All

 

Has anyone here had luck in getting a towbar fitted to a fiesta ST?

This will only be for a bike rack as the rear mounted ones or roofrack options and seem way too expensive for this vehicle.
