Hi All, sorry if this has been raised before but I'm a newbie to the site (which looks great by the way). Just treated myself to a new (to me) tow car and started ringing round for quotes for a tow bar. After my last motor (H reg escort cabriolet) I was expecting to pay a similar amount for the new bar. Not disappointed, lowest was £140, highest £200 with twin electrics. Great. Then comes the extra phone calls "erm, I know we've quoted you £140 but I've just thought, is your '98 car an R or an S reg?" . It's S. Surprise, surprise, that's the year they brought in type approval so my quotes now vary between £195 and £285. If it had been registered 24 hours earlier it would be enough cheaper to pay for the bank holiday. Why? Is the car so radically different from the one registered the day before? One firm offered to sell me a towbar that was not approved on condition I didn't say where I'd got it from and fitted it myself. Mmmm.
Sorry for the rant but just feeling sorry for my wallet...
