Indespension

after pricing 5 or 6 people to fit a towbar to my skoda yet

i have to say that indespension was by far the cheapest ......

Are they all comparable quotes? Are the quotes for fixed swan necks, 2 bolt flange bar, Witter/Towsure vs Bosal/Brink/Westfailia. Is the wiring via a proper loom or will it be by by-pass relays & a handful of Scotchlocks? Will 'earths' be at the original
earth points on the car or will drill your car & use self tappers/drillhead screws?

Not really. You just need to know what you want, and whether what the towbar fitter wants to fit for his quote, is what you want on the back of your car. It's like asking  ..... how much is a tyre to fit my car? 

i usually negotiate the price of the towbar in with the price of the car and never yet had a problem.

It's not a problems as long as you get what you wanted or even knew what you wanted in the first place. But to say that towbar place A is cheaper/dearer than towbar place B is meaningless if you're comparing apples with bananas. And if you negotiate a towbar
into the price of your new/next car, the selling garage is more likely to fit the cheapest he can get away with which isn't what I'd want.

i think you will find that land rover dealers usually fit a quality product with the correct loom as when fitted with the car they get the 3 year warranty

I think I find that ....... I'd no idea at all where you buy your cars from ..... I was talking in general

 ..... they gave me a great price and did an excellent job

I'm sure they did - I've never doubted them. Though my local Indespension has never fitted a bar for me (yet) they've been very helpful over the years. 

I to had a problem with Indespension in Derby. They wired my Insignia incorrectly. Lost all lights on way to Lake District had to get Greenflag. Cost me over £100 to get a temp fix in the area. Never got my money back from Indespension. Never use them again.

This has the advantage as tbe dealer now has to guarantee the work. The problem can be manufacturers items are the minimum spec and you need to be sure this is enough. The major problems seem to be non compliance with the needs of ALKO hitches and electrics
unable to handle LED lights.

All is fine with alko tow hitch and lights, frigde and caravan battery charging work fine. I think Land rover think of caravans

 

of coure it was like for like  DUH !!!!!

Ooooooo!
