A big shout of thanks to everyone who helped me. I have just ordered a Westfalia tow bar, with vehicle specific, , 13 pin, led electrics, from PF Jones. Make the enquiries on the phone, but they wouldn’t take my order. So ordered online. £560 all up. Going to fit it myself with help. Thanks Guys, love this forum. 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

I chose the more expensive led electrics because it’s the future proof option, and will work on led or bulbs.
Hopefully fit it next week. 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

So I fitted my Westfalia today, here’s my observations. I watched the only video online, the
American one. Good guide, but some differences because they have a US spec vehicle. The exhaust system in the US one is different. There is no difficult threading of the bracket through the exhaust, as in the video. Otherwise apart from a couple of difficult threads quite straightforward. I have got the small panel back without modifying.. so although it took me most of the day, that’s just me.
Bumper off easy. 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

Thank you for the update, I am thinking of buying one myself, Can i ask when the tow bar is removed is the holder visible? does it protrude beneath the bumper (like the L322's) Question Any photos would be appreciated....

Thanks

Stephen
