This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

Next to your front and/or rear bumper (assumption for the Boxster as I'm not sure, but true for 911) will be a small plastic socket in the bumper which you can pop out using your car key or something like that.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

On the front of a 911, I assume the Boxster is the same, near the number plate is a small round disk that you remove and the towing eye should then be screwed into this.

POST 2Original post

They need a way to get you out of the kitty litter .

POST 4Original post

I think the AA insist on something similar when a TVR owner joins

POST 5Original post

The towing eye will be in your toolkit. It looks like a huge needle with screw thread (i.e. it has an "eye" through which they can thread a rope). Next to your front and/or rear bumper (assumption for the Boxster as I'm not sure, but true for 911) will be a small plastic socket in the bumper which you can pop out using your car key or something like that. Don't lose it! Then screw in the towing eye.

POST 6Original post

Don, I'll ask the missus to bring hers if you've er, mislaid yours. It's either a tow hook or some monkey with their breakdown truck. Your choice !

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll be looking for it tonight. I know the little circular hole in the skirt that has been mentioned. I'm sure the tow hook is in the toolkit..I'll check and let you know if I need a favour. I've been sent the schedule for the day. I'll mail you off-list with all the times etc.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks everyone for your replies...very useful.

POST 10Original post

Not quite, in this case it is a real towhook for towing the broken down Porsches.

POST 11Original post

Ha ha, the tow hook thing only started because we can't drive them properly on track >> Edited by domster on Wednesday 3rd July 12:22

POST 12Original post

I know, but you did leave yourself open for the riposte

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just got the details through for the PCGB Track Day I'm attending on July 12th. The say the circuit management won't let cars out on track unless they've got their towing hooks fitted. ?? Errrrm. Frankly I haven't checked my Boxster's manual - but what are they on about....?
