Tow Bar fitting - penarthguy - 07-08-2012 07:43pm
Thinking about getting the quick release tow bar and 13 pin towing electric fitted by Statstone who quoted £880 incl fitting - is this standard across all dealers?

Yep, that sounds about right
Loads of discussion on here re towbars. The JLR offering is very expensive, looks hideous and results in a massive bumper cut. I fitted my own, cost was a little over £300. There are full instructions on here.

I had one fitted professionally by a reputable company including electrics for £245, A detachable wouls be a bit more but still less than half of £800

Fitted by Stratstone??? Might get more than you bargain for with the words quick release!

Guy Salmon Stockport are fitting the fixed swan neck tow bar including 13 pin electrics for £485. See http://www.guysalmon.stockport.landrover.co.uk/sitecore/content/mss-content/Websites/guysalmonstockport/Home/Offers/Evoque/RANGE-ROVER-EVOQUE-ACCESSORIES Your local dealer should be able to match the price if Stockport is too far away.

our detatchable is being replaced tomorrow under warranty - already seized up - cannot get key into the lock, and has also come a little lose.

Thanks I mentioned this to the dealer and they dropped the price to £600 fitted for the quick release tow bar and 13 pin electrics.
Got to see the car as well which looked great, just a few weeks to go until I can collect it.

why do the towbars on the LR website say 'up to 2013 model year'? What changes after MY2013 prevent the fitting of a towbar do you think?
http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/rr/range-rover-evoque/accessories/
actually, on further inspection, it states a different part number for MY2013.....I wonder why?
"Quick Release Tow Bar - Up to 2013 Model Year - Part No: VPLVT0069 / 2013 Model Year Onwards - Part No: VPLVT0100"
RE: Tow Bar fitting - XFullFatTim - 21-08-2012 06:07pm
Could LR have taken note of the numerous complaints on here about having to cut the rear valance and done a redesign for 2013MY cars?
RE: Tow Bar fitting - Urban Splash - 21-08-2012 06:12pm
Something useful for MY2013!
