towbars are easy to fit but being a 2.2 it will drink more fuel towing will tow very well though

Re: towbar, towing with c5 2.2 hdi
I got one fitted to our 2002 2.0HDi C5 SX hatch, I found a company who came out and fitted them. It was a pretty reasonable price, cant remember exactly how much but around £200. Only single electrics as im not a caravaner.
Ive had very nearly its towing limit on the back (horse and iforwilliams horse box) and its pretty impressive. It could use a slight bit more power for the hills but its not at all bad.
However, I really got the towbar just for my bike rack, which it pulls fine

Only 200cc bigger and 26hp more than 2.0, suppose its 25% more hp though, 2.0 better mpg?
