DIY Tow bar
Hi all,I have my QQ on order and I'm looking at fitting a detachable flange towbar with dedicated electrics once it arrives http://www.pfjones.co.uk/nissan-qashqai ... owbar.html. I am thinking of fitting this myself, has anyone fitted themselves? Is an update required by main dealer after fitting if so is it expensive?Thanks,Glen

You don't need anything from the dealer. Use the correct electronics which nicely fits to existing connector plug it in and work done. I couldn't find the thread where I wrote more about my install with links to towbar as well as electronics.

Rear bumper is very easy to remove compare to the front one. You only need to remove screw near rear wheel, few plastic clips at bottom, 2 screws near left and 2 near right rear lamp. At the end unclip wheel arch plastic trim on both sides and then take it out. To avoid any damage it's better that you have another person to help you to remove it from the car.

I also recommend you have something nice and soft to place it onto as the bumper is very easy to scratch.
