I have the Witter on mine. Direct from PF Jones the towbar + dedicated 13 pin electrics are £270.40 then fit yourself using the 'How-To' on this site. It was enough of a saving to make me do it.

Thanks all.
Yes, I think I will go for either the witter or westfalia. May as well just get the westfalia though, as it wont work out that much more, and I have an e46 towbar to sell to make up the difference anyway.
I will most certainly be fitting myself! The e46 was easy.

I see though you need to lower the exhaust and take the heat shields off, is that necessary?

I think there are some bolts you need to get at and the exhausts/shields cover them, so the answer is yes you do.  :'(

I recently fitted a witter detachable swan-neck as mentioned above from PF Jones. It was fairly straight forward using the photo's and instructions from this very site. Only thing I found differant was the main upright tubes for connecting the bumber back on were slightly bigger diameter and so had to go look for a sleeve to insert in to take up the loose around the bolts.
I still have a problem with the electrics though,... warning lights say 'check trailer lights',  this is because I have never been able to get the rear nearside tail light to work , even after a replacement 'grey box' which plugs into the wiring loom next to the battery. Had it all tested and still not working, must be a fault pre-grey box.
No problems with the towing using the Witter though,

Cool, I've just ordered the Witter bar with dedicated electrics.
Now to fit it.
I've just removed the towbar off my e46, and I fitted that one a few months back, so this will be the third time this year I'm fitting/removing a towbar - a bit tired of the process now!  :noexpression:
At least I should be able to do it quickly!
