There is a website owned and operated by land Rover that has public access and contains all the fitting instructions for every Land Rover accessory sold by the dealerships so you can see what you will need to do and buy in the way of tools before you buy the accessory and attempt the install yourself! It's called the Land Rover GTR (global technical resourses) Website.www.ownerinfo.landrover.com All the documenst are in PDF format. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

Thats why I want to buy the "Landrover wiring kit", so I can just plug in, without worrying about possible wiring modifications.

Took the easy way out- got the towbar fitted by dealer prior to delivery. A bit of haggling before I signed the order form and they went halves on the cost. |

FWIW I also had tow bar fitted from new by dealer(detachable with twin socket electrics) the next day the car refused to start,unlock let me take its key out etc...... the software package had not installed properly it took the dealer all day to sort it out but no problems since. I wouldn't try to sort it out myself, I'd let the dealer have the hassle.. |

I would go to your dealer, another dealer, then another to see the best price you can get, play them off.

I'm with avtur and tandemman on this. Let the dealer do it and let him suffer the electrical compatability issues and down loads. I've had enough of my cars electrical anomalies. When the new one comes out I'll be getting them to fit a tow bar for the bike rack as the bleedin roof rails seem to be a dream never to be realised |

I posted this already in the "wiring for towbar" topic but thought it could be useful to post it here too as it confirms some of the posts above.

My dealer is asking for £200 to get a towbar & electrics fitted to FL2 (fitting only ie + parts) Sounds like daylight robbery to me, but is that the norm? |
