TOWBAR ELECTRICS

Having fitted the electrics and towbar, I understand the electrics have to activated by the Dealer. Anyone know how long it takes?

Also , what is the normal (or average) hourly charge?

All info gladly appreciated TDV6 HSE 2007 model, Stornoway Grey, Ivory leather,Privacy glass, Premium ICE Pack, side steps, tasmod sills, now towbar and seat covers

I may be wrong here but they all seem fine until you tow something - then the suspension thinks you're stuck in mud and raises! I stand to be corrected though. RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE Zambezi silver,Alpaca.

I fitted my own also - no issue - dealer fit de-ac's vehicle brake and fogs i think to stop glare when tow elecs in place if you have dreaded caravan behind... pure SW job but not essential...

Cheers bud, does that mean the bumper has to come off and is it a simple case of just pluging a cable block in.
