Theres some on ebay for 90 quid, apparently its a 1.5 hour job! Does this sound reasonable or should i just take it to a shop to get it done
Cheers!

IIRC they just bolt through the chassis into captive nuts which are already there..
Id have a bash yourself. My passat was 1.5 hour job. Took me less than an hour to fit it and wire it up.

Extender plates either side and a central transverse bar bolted to the plates, one of the easier ones.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

nice, i was looking underneath and thinking of making one myself, concluded it would have to mount near the suspension mounts or those
'things' at the sides - im guessing the wheel well is a little flimsy!
What does wiring entail? Is it literally snipping and splicing wires?
cheers!
tom you have u2u

get the scotch/3m clip on piggyback wiring thingies if the car doesn't have a prewired socket somewhere under the boot trim. wiring colours will
be in the back of the haynes, then just plug in a trailer board or continuity test from the centre pin to each circuit.
beware, I've got yellow skin
