Looking to buy a trailer soon, and so need to fit an attachment to my 306 HDi 3dr to tow.. well whatever i come across. Mostly my motorbike to track days but occasionally bigger stuff such as caravans or machinery.

Anyway, I've no idea where to start. Obviously I've found some on eBay but unsure which to go for. I'm reasonably skilled with DIY but would i need a professional install? Also, is the electronic light board socket easy enough to wire in?

Any help on the matter would be much appreciated, cheers Smile

Can a ~1100kg 306 legally tow a caravan? I guess a very light one would be okay. Fitting a tow bar is a piece of p**s and definitely DIY. The wiring only needs to include the old style 7N lighting plug by law. If you'd like the fridge to work (and other things) then you'll want the 7S relay connection too: both easy to wire up. Alternatively just bung on the modern 13 pin unit and have everything in one.

You'll want a seriously featherweight caravan to prevent the tail from wagging the dog!

Caravan was a possibility, but since I've never been on my own caravan holiday, it's a very small possiblity.

Main use would be towing my bike around. Unlikely to be more than 600kg even with a couple of bikes if it's a moderately lightweight trailer.
