friend of mine just bought one of these which is free delivery, easy to fit and no bumper cutting, you would still need thye electrics doing but maybe a member could help you out there

Deffo still not keen on wiring though. If it was plug and play, no worries, but cutting, splicing, soldering.......

i am no expert on towbars and when my friend bought this one i expected to have to cut a small section out of the bumper as on some i undersand you have to, but we were pleasantly surprised.
You could fit the tow bar side of this easlily yourself and even if you have to pay someone to wire it up it should still work out cheaper than some of the other alternatives above. If you know how to remove the bumper which is dead easy the crash beam will bolt off and the towbar will bolt exactly where the crash beam was and in the same holes, you can reuse the existing bolts and any others needed are supplied. The towbar comes with one socket so if you are towing a caravan you will need to buy a second one Is there not a member near you who has done the wiring before who could help you out or consider a nano meet to get this done, although not many of thrm at this time of year ?

No bumper cutting is needed on the saloon,but a small square it needed to be cut in the tourer one.

Shame. So if you take off the bar, you're left with a hole?
