Some more questions for you, clever peeps.

I'll be towing my Puck with a Seat Altea. I've gone for a detachable tow bar, mostly because I've read that a fixed one can interfere with parking sensors. I've had a quote of £444 from Towbar express to fit it at my house.

Does that sound reasonable? And am I being overcautious? Has anyone else had experience of a fixed tow bar setting the sensors off? The bumper has to be cut to accommodate the tow bar anyway, so appearance wise it's still going to show even when the tow bar is detached.

.Hi Herby, your stuck with me I'm afraid the others are their Gloucester meet all having a kip after eating all my doughnuts

I tow with a BMW 320d it has an electric retractable towbar and parking sensors I have just lowered the towball and reversed with no problems, the only time my sonar sensors go off is when I am witjin about 4 to 5 foot away from an object. I guess different tow vehicles and tow bar set ups could react differently but I doubt it.

I suspect it will be someone covering their options with regard to being sued if something goes wrong, don't be surprised if it comes with a "may contain nuts" sticker as that is the same type of option covering I'm talking about. Hth

I tow with a VW Tiguan, Fixed tow bar, when the van is hitched up with electrics connected it disables the rear sensors, even visually tells you the van is attached when you put it into reverse. No problems…….
