Between £100...aftermarket/do electrics yourself...... up to £800 or so for a manufacturers system.

Some cars are easy for do-it-yourself, some nearly impossible.

depends how mechanically minded you are I suppose!!

has to be done right now doesnt it....

I see you are in York, you will have to weigh up the cost, but we always go to Horsforth Towbars, hes in yell.com, hes always quoted the best price and hes a nice and friendly customer orientated guy....will try to accomodate where he can.

(local Garage and never had a problem towing any of my vans, the latest being a 22ft Abbey!!)

we have had 3 fitted to 3 different cars at a cost of aprrox £120 all in.

Horsforth is in Leeds, you may be able to get it done cheaper where you live.

let us know how you get on, but ring round as they can vary quite a lot as I found out, I was quoted over £200 for the same when I was looking....

good luck

Hi

We have used CDF several times they are brilliant and they came out to us and fitted it in about 2 hours, cost about £150, they cover the midlands area, but I'm sure there are people local to you who can do the same job,

Hi  I used KM Coachworks and Trailer Co in Slough, opposite McDonalds.  They charged £195 about 3 years ago for fitting tow ball, bumper protector, twin electrics and audible indicators. Excellent job fitted while we looked round B&Q etc opposite and had a big mac..
