hi rosie51
please check your cars circuitry before buying tow-bar and electrics.
could have all sorts of electronic warning systems fitted ( light out and sensors etc.)
might be better paying the money and having one fitted that is matched to your car with all electrics,witter and towsure acn supply and fit correct system for you,
better be safe than sorry.

yes most modern car use a fully electronic system to control lighting & sensors , you will here the term CBUS used , i think that renault use this system in all their cars,
i would highly recommend buying a dedicated wiring system when you buy the tow bar ! , also i would only buy from a reputable dealer like towequipe , fitting the towbar is striaght forward on most cars , but doing the electrics can be a complete nightmare ! , i fitted the towbar & electrics to my new VW passsat , 20 mins to remove the bumper & fit the towbar and the 4 hours to do the electrics !!! , i'm a electronics engineer and i still found it a challenge routing the cables to the specific control boxes.
i would also only fit a 13pin socket as opposed to twin 12n/12s the euro sockets are much better , especially if your caravan uses the 13pin plug if not then yuo will need a 13 to 12s/n adaptor
if you can afford it then have a dealer towbar fitted, if anything goes wrong then you only have them to blame.
