Please help us before we go insane! We have a 55 plate Mazda 5 and have recently bought a Conway trailer tent. We thought we would have to buy a whole towbar for the car but upon looking underneath we found part of a Brink towbar but no towball. We have done lots of searching online for information on the Brink toward and whether there was a specific ball but with no joy hubby went to a local towbar supplier who told him she thought that all brink towballs fitted all brink detachable towbars. So we bought one on eBay and the bugger won't fit! All the bits and pieces match up but we just can't get the end of the towball through the fitting to lock it in. Please please please can someone help us? Would there be a specific ball we would need or is it something we have to do to the towbar bit to make the towball fit?
Well the best solution I would think is to contact Brink UK direct by telephone as they should be able to tell you exactly the part number of the detachable towball required. I have tried to check out their website in order to provide a link for you but is currently under construction at the moment which is of no help so if you find a Brink towbar dealer they may just be able to supply you with the head office address or even a contact telephone number.
The Bosal and Witter towbars have a blanking plug that fits in the receiver when you remove the towball so I'm wondering if the Brink one is a similar design. If the plug is removed the towball should just slide in and give a positive clonk when it has engaged properly. It might be worth asking your towbar specialist to check it out for you.
Call Brink direct they are pretty good up to a point, well after they supplied me with four replacement towballs and receivers in three years as they kept developing play in the receivers.

Oh well at least somebody has their phone number considering that their website is down. This is when this forum works at it's best....Well done.
Even if they had it for a week the paperwork should have been sent off by then.
If its the dealers name, They its not unknown for dealers to register troublesome cars to themselves.
Its not as easy to find the previous owner, How many people know you can contact the DVLA to find that out? For a fee of course.
