I've just got me Golf sorted to be picked up by Scrapco tomorrow . As it has a dead battery, it isn't going to drive , so i spent 5 minutes screwing in the tow hook , so it can be winched on ... Wouldn't screw in ... .i looked to see if the thread was damaged , then saw it is a left hand thread . Screwed straight in . Why a left hand thread then ?
