As regards beeping in reverse, I assume this would only apply if I had reversing sensors, which my car hasn't got!

Don't think I'll be fitting it myself, but maybe I do need to seek out a few more quotes!

I have after market reverse sensors on my car,they just stick on the bumper or lights,which is the case on mine.It only beeps when reversing off my drive,even when nothing behind,that is not to say that the sensors don't work btw,they do activate when objects are nearby.

Dave,its easy,remove bumper cover,remove crash bar,slide bracket into chassis rails,fit bolts,then fit the bolts from crashbar,back into the matching holes on towbar bracket.As for wiring,I have written down somewhere ,the car wiring colours for each light,will dig it out and pm you it.The wiring is just a case of paring the outer sheath,and soldering the tow socket wire to it.

The proper Can-bus unit will prevent the OEM Rover reversing sensor beeping when reversing when a trailer is attached. The proper Can-bus unit also has the advantage that it tests your trailer lights are working properly and flag up a fault on the dash if there is a fault.

TBH, I could probably consider the actual hardware fitting, but I don't think I'd like to risk my feeble skills on the electrics, so a professional job it will need to be!

I got the detachable towbar with the 13 pin plug, 408 quid, but it's great and what i wanted as my next van will come with 13 pin electrics. Steve.
