Ok, a bit of a last minute punt as I'm test driving the car tomorrow (its an ex demo by the looks of it)and its bang on what I'm looking for - quick, spacious, glass roof, petrol manual.......

But I also need a towbar, don't worry, for mountain bikes not a caravan.

The pricelist shows option 3AC as being £750, presume there would be a labour charge on top. Towsure who fitted my last bar are quoting £530 fitted with 'complete' 13 pin wiring, or £702 with 'dedicated' wiring

I'm guessing the former is generic and the latter custom to hook into ECU program etc

I guess my question is are there any independents in striking distance of Sheffield that could do a decent job a bit cheaper?

I think the dealer has the car about £750 over book so if he threw in the towbar and didn't get silly with the p/ex value of mine I'd probably consider it a deal

Bought the car, happy with the deal. Asked dealer about towbar, is getting their local supplier to fit it for me at cost, £320 all in for a detachable so am pretty chuffed really.
