Default Help needed! Where can I tie a tow rope to the front of an EF?

Hi All,

My EF broke down today and I need to tow it hope as it's in a fairly dodgy spot!

Where at the front of the EF, can I tie a tow rope? Had a quick look, but couldn't really see anywhere obvious! It was in the dark!

Thanks,

Justin.

Is it auto or manual, never a good idea to tow an auto unless it's the auto at fault for the breakdown.

Yeah it's an auto. I've only gotta tow about 500m, so should be ok!

Tried it from the towbar, but the bloody dodgy rope kept snapping!

2 of us ended up pushing it a total of 800 metres (I was watching the speedo). It was really great fun, a few little hills and everything!

Don't think I'll be walking tomorrow!
