Well my dead Zafira only lasted 10 mins on ebay before it was snapped up. I now have the where withall to have a towbar to connect my camping trailer, fitted to the vectra I have purchased as a replacement. Anyone got any recommendations as where I could get one fitted?

have you bought a new one? or a second hand one (most of the second hand ones off ebay for example dont come with all the bolts/washers/spacers)...
they are not that hard to fit, BUT you may have to cut the bumper (best to make a paper template to start off with and mark the bumper with permanant pen)....

the wiring is pretty easy as long as you have a haynes destruction manual....

Bob, I haven't got his number, but Trowbridge Towbar Services (or something like that) is a guy I trained a few years ago. Fellow biker, and does a good job, and he's mobile. ;)
