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

Dealers charge about £120 PH - not sure how long they need. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

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. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

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...

towed a horse box and it was fine
the right ride hight
lights were fine

now have tow bar for my work pickup
as wife wants to tow the horse box

How easy are the electrics to fit?

Cost?

Tow bar electrics are easy to connect, via a multi pin plug behind the rear bumper.

As for the cost: Search ebay you can normally pick up the electric harness and detachable tow hook for a couple of hundred quid max. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

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