Last night I got a call from a mate, who somehow managed to get himself bogged on a main road shoulder.
Anyways I get some thick rope out of my shed and drive down to him. After looking at the car and laughing at my mate I back my car up to his. Then I had a look under my car and couldnt find anything like a tow point or think loop of metal I normally see under other cars. I also had a look under the front and couldnt see any. Ive heard people hooking it up to the watts link/panard bar and bending them, so I wasnt going to use that. Im not sure if it was just too dark (no lamp posts around plus my phone doesnt have a torch on it) but is there any tow points on an AU? Front and back? If so, where abouts are they? Cheers...

Ok, I'll have a look tomorrow under the car for next time. Yea I do have live axle and thought about the idea of using it as a tow point but since Ive lowered it, its a c*** to get under the rear and I had a full tank of petrol so it sat about 10mm lower then normal. I even have trouble pumping up the jack when Im trying to lift the rear.

The owner's handbook will nominate the emergency towing points; often the tie down and at the rear a tow bar, if fitted, with notes that they should only be used in an emergency and then only for "light towing" on flat smooth surfaces.

AU's dont break down so they never need towing.
