Hello All,
Can I tow someone out of trouble using the standard towing point under the back of my 150 or do I need a special mod or a tow bar?
Thanks in advance!

The standard tow loop is fine (until it fails :pray:). Not done anything on mine but the tow loop on the 120 (pretty much the same) took a fair amount of abuse and did not bend or break.
Use it for a snatch recovery? Depends on how stuck the other vehicle is...
 
thanks Crispin!
BTW - what's the most useful length and strength if I only carry one rescue rope? Can you recommend an online store for these?

A useful length is one that reaches ;)

I carried a 20m 5 ton one like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x4-RECOV...2616?pt=UK_Recovery_Tools&hash=item3a904bd768
Coiled up it fits nicely into the net baggage thing in the back of the 120. It should fit into the hidey-hole thing in the 150 as well.
Truth be told though, it was too long and I normally doubled it up.

Be sure to get some shackles as well. Best to get rated and tested ones. You don't want cheep ones breaking on you.
