F25 Towbar fitting - Glasgow

Post by simonfr » Sun Jan 21, 2018 12:25 am

I'm looking to get a Westfalia towbar fitted to my 2016 X3.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a company in the Glasgow area that could do this for me?
Thanks in advance.

Have you called PF Jones?
They are based in Manchester area, but have mobile guys all over the uk. As Westfalia agents they know the job inside out!

I’d try them too.  Well known and seem to know what they are about  :)

I had a Wesfalia detachable bar fitted to mine a few months ago but got it done locally. I would however suggest PF Jones but if its a detachable just be aware that they will have to cut out a small piece of the rear under tray. You wont be able to notice it though and the bar is a really nice piece of kit.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll try PF Jones, but have also been recommended someone else. Will see how the cost compares.

Thanks. Am actually booked in there so we'll see how it goes. Anything I should be aware of about the fitting, or should be asking for? Am getting a Westfalia detachable fitted.
Thanks!

Make sure that they are wiring the 12-pin connection fully.  BMW leave two connections off (fridge & 12v switched) so worth checking that the full set are connected.  Most after market fitters do everything, but it’s still worth asking  :)
