I requested standard towbar I got a swan neck fixed! Factory fitted welded swan neck!!!
So to be able to fit my motorcycle rack I needed a STANDARD towbar!
Managed to get one from Towsure for £100 so that's not bad! Plus hopefully I'll sell the OEM for that least!

Fitting:
First hassle: getting the spare tyre out, first time in my life I've needed a handbook to undo two bolts!
Still got there in the end, wheel wrench is used to apply pressure to the captive bolt downwards via a slot for the wheel wrench!
Then removed the plastic rear chassis cover.
Remove the rear light clusters
Remove the plastic panel under the light clusters
Then the bumper two screws under each wheel arch at the bottom which basically holds the whole bumper in place!
Carefully pull the bumper outwards on each side to release.
Along the the top of the bumper there are slots using a large flat screw driver push down to release the top of the bumper.
On the bottom of the bumper there are some plastic stays held by plastic push rivets undo these.
If you've got reversing beepers you might have to release three, start from offside then the last can stay attached to the bumper and main loom.
Fitting towbar a doddle arms slide into chassis and bolted
Then it's time to put it all back together
