Ok....Heres my pictures of the fitting to the 2001 Peugeot 406 estate.

I will add the photos of the electrics shortly.

I intend to build this website and include photos of other towbar fitting projects. If any of you are doing the same then please send me your photos and notes so that I can include them on a model by model menu,. Im sure this will be of use to others in the future.

I have fitted a few, Witter are very good, clear instructions.The easiest was a  Frontera-just bolts to the chassis, electrics fit into a plug in the boot. Then change flasher unit for 4 pin one to activate the dash lamp! Worst was a Saab ,bumper off, lots of bits and holes to drill ( bumper weighs a ton!)

Latest car Kia Sorento , had it done by the dealer as it is covered by the warranty.  The car is only 9 months old. Interestingly they use a local specialist firm.

Some modern cars have multiplex wiring which can make the electrics a bit more complex, you can't splice into the loom as in older vehicles.They also sometimes need the management system to be updated via dealer test equipment!
