I think you have the answer right in your sig

The more pernickety might want to know details like the type of car and type of towbar

We did know that whatever the model, it wasn't fitted with ESP.

Citroën bar or Hayman Reese?

I fitted a Towsure towbar to my S1 TD hatchback couple of years back. Found I had to remove the spare wheel carrier and alter it's shape so as to clear the towbar right at the back end, but it was a bit awkward lowering the carrier to remove the spare. Also, whilst the old very worn spare slotted snugly into the carrier, I now have a spare with more tread, and this doesn't fit at all easily into the carrier. The tyres are standard 185 65 x 15"
