you're welcome, can I ask which triple bike rack you are looking at? Save me having a look for one if you don't mind

Not a problem - we like the thule velo compact 927 having seen it locally, shrinks down a bit for storage. Does need a 13 to 7 pin adaptor though, although those are cheap (c £20). See https://www.thule.com/en-gb/gb/bike-rac ... n-_-927002 for details of. Seen it for around £370 online - roofracks.co.uk are pretty good.
They do have other models on the thule website, but this seemed the best all round for what we needed

Thanks for the info, we have a Thule bike rack that went on the hatchback of my car but I never felt it was that safe so having a towbar gives us the option to get something better. I must say I like the idea that the towbar hides away and is not on show all the time.

Yeah, we went from boot mounted to roof mounted thule carriers. They were rock solid but a faff to get on and off, so can't wait to finally have a towbar and easy loading!

Just thought I would (belatedly) post an update as I started this thread. Got a 150 dsg 4x4 edition in Quartz grey. Tow bar operation is superb. Car has a lot of gadgets, just getting used to them now.

Yes, towed with it twice. Previous cars have had removable tow bars which I needed to lie on the ground to fit. This one appears at the flick of a switch. Auto box works well when towing. Only minor issue is connecting up as sometimes difficult to get the biting point on the autobox for the last 2 or 3 inches, so we use the motor mover to save any dents.

Sorry for late response but only just joined forum. My 1.5 Edition was the Mule for Witter towbars. All design work from my moter with 3D scans for measurements etc. Bar is very similar to an A3 bar.The bar fit is easy and is detachable so only bit visible when not towing is the breakaway cable ring. The electrics are a bit tricky and need to be fitted by professionals. It took 7 hours (first fit - so may be shorter with experience) and it affects lots of other electrics. It needs 'coding'. You end up with a 13 pin so if using 7 pin you will need adapters. Need to find ECU - behind LH kick-panel by bonnet release and fit auxiliary ECU in rear LH wheel arch. Most of interior removed to fit! So maybe £850 for factory job is not expensive after all.
