Just bought a new Peugeot 3008 in Spain, thought I would bring over a tow bar and full electrics for the car from the UK, (thought it would save me some cash) its the same make and type Peugeot use. But the dealers would not fit it, because it was not supplied by them.

Its Witter swan neck, detachable Tow bar.

Anyone know of a really good fitter, that will not give me any trouble with Peugeot.

It's not that they wont fit it because they didn't supply it but because it hasn't got a homologation certificate, probably. In the UK they are homologated & come with the plate with the details on but here they also come with a certificate stating all these details . You need to find someone who is licensed to fit tow-bars , bull-bars ,etc; & speak to them as they can install it & isssue the certificate of installation. When you have both these certificates , & its been fitted, you can take the car to the ITV station complete with you registration documents & they will inspect the tow-bar, electrics etc; & add it to your registration details. If it's not on the log book it's not legal & you will have problems if you are towing & stopped by the police.  Just in case you didn't know , anything like this has to be on the log book i.e. tow-bars, bull- bars, side -steps( not side.bars ) if they project out past the wing mirrors, bodywork mods, additional driving lights, you can't change tyre sizes from those shown on the log book without having them inspected & put on the logbook. Also you have to pay for the ratification @ the itv station the same fee as for the itv test. It would have been easier to find someone to supply & fit a spanish tow-bar if peugeot wanted too much money. Unless you can get a homologation cert. from Witter , in spanish, you 'll have a problem.
