Anyone any suggestions for a good, but not exorbitantly priced aftermarket towbar arrangement for my 2014 L494 RRS?

I do have a quote from our local branch of Indespension for £500 supplied and fitted. That was for a Brink kit, including electrics. What I'm not sure of is how good Brink are. Or if I can get it done cheaper. Local garage workshop owning friend said £50-100 to fit the kit if I bring it to him, so kit under £400 and I'm winning. |

I thought all sports came with towbar pre-attached and only electrics and towbar hook/neck was required, that's what I was told by dealer anyway. As an aside my towbar detachable hook/neck thingy has just failed while caravan connected. Snapped key in lock. Was just about to leave house for Glencoe when the whole thing detached itself. Happily no damage done but weekend away scuppered. Not covered by warranty apparently so looking for replacement Westfalia towbar neck only - £750 from Land Rover ... don't think so. 2016 L494 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Carpathian Grey |

Sadly not on the l494 model, the socket ended with the new model!

Thanks for the replies guys. I know what you mean regarding the removable tow hook towing caravan but never had any issues until now. Must admit to having my confidence in it reduced somewhat. I’ll have a look at Tow Trust - it might be worthwhile changing the whole towbar depending, we’ll see. 2016 L494 SDV6 HSE Dynamic Carpathian Grey |
