Towbar RR Vogue 2010

Hi guys. Totally new to forums, so please be gentle.
Just bought a RR vogue 2010, still finding toys on it I didn't know it had..
I'm considering a towbar, for a mounted bike rack.
Seems a bit of a mine field...
Was going to get roof rails, and 3 racks, but think with the bikes on it may be a bit tall.
Anyone know, is it straight forward to fit a towbar, and what are the rough costs...
Hope you can help..
Cheers
PeteH

Pete, you're in Manchester PF Jones is a no brainer, but get Westfalia as it will then be the same as OEM. I got one and fitted it myself but they will fit. Also I got offers of help from forum members, I didn't need any, it's simple but a bit fiddly at times oh and it's heavy so it's best to have someone on standby to help you offer it up to the car. Thumbs Up Geoff

Thanks Geoff. the pics are great and very helpful.

the electrics. I know the RR has a loom ready for this and just needs the last bit to connect to the trailer. but does it interfere with reversing sensors. and camera.
I expect the rack would be in the way. as it were. but that should be it shouldn't it??
thanks again for all your help.

If you use the proper wiring kit, the reversing sensors are automatically switched off when you plug in the trailer electrics.

The Connector you use is a smart one in that it disables the reversing sensors and I think it alters a few other things as well it's about 50quid from PF Jones for a third party one when I bought mine, 1/3 of the JLR price. PF Jones use these www.rightconnections.co.uk Geoff

I've got an earlier car, but the genuine one from PF Jones was only about £65 - £200 from a dealer!
