Slightest bend on a tow bar and they will say it needs changing, they wouldn't take the risk of saying it is Ok, 6 month later it could fail with a stress fracture

It's not only vans, you buy a fridge freezer for home for about £250, get a built in one, same make, exactly the same working etc but without the white painted exterior and there £700 - how's that work confused
