I had one fitted to 06 Vectra with twin sockets last week

£230 all in

Mine was fitted last month for less than £200, I have a Subaru Forester 4WD.

If I had gone to Subaru for the fitting it would have cost me £550, but I went to a local independant 4WD servicing place and they sorted me out no problems.

Paid £100ish for a Mondeo tow bar with single electrics and a mate who knows what he is doing fitted it with hubby helping him.  Took about an hour and a half, hardest bit was getting the bumper off to cut.

Not sure we can get him to do the next one though... although he is going to remove the towbar for us if we don't sell the car before we trade it in, as I reckon it will sell on Ebay, it seems an imposition to keep asking him.

Hi,

We had a towsure towbar fitted onto our Kia Sportage last week, and it was £200.00 all in, with standard electrics. They did not need to cut the bumper either, so very pleased, it was fitted by a Towsure recommended garage that only do bars and car electrics.

Best advice is to phone around a few garages and get a quote, and ask if the bumper needs to be cut, some do, some don't.

Good luck

I contacted Bosal last week to find out if the "Bosal Oris-Matic" towbar was available for the new Golf MK6 HatchBack, as my company car is being changed over in July, and I have already found out that the towbar currently fitted to my Mk5 will not fit the Mk6!, anyway I was told by Bosal that the "Oris-Matic" was only available for prestigious cars!, and that it was very expensive, well that put me in my place.

Hi Francais,

Seems strange information you were told there as their website lists the oris-matic as available for the Astra, CMax & Focus, obviously newly lifted to the prestgious car range.

Cheers
