I am looking for a towbar for the above, and can only find one so far for a 2.0 HD1 or a 2.2. I have a Witter detachable one on my 2.0 HD1 2010 Touring Exclusive, and wonder if a garage could transfer it to the 3.0.
Your help would be v welcome.

I can only provide you with the official details of towbars from Citroen for this specific model. If you want these, let me have your VIN. Please post your VIN in full without spaces - it will be automatically masked from public view after submitting your post & will only be visible to staff.

Re: Towbar for a 3.0 HDi C5 Touring 2009 Exclusive
I've been looking for one of these also.
There is a thread on here where someone did modify a towbar for the non twin-exhaust/battery in boot model and get it to fit, here
However I have also found some aftermarket ones that allegedly are compatible. e.g:
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 50658.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 51940.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 53259.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 53275.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 13033.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 13032.html
https://www.carpratik.com/en/towbar-cit ... 14382.html
(that supplier also has other models available that either specifically say not for twin-exhaust/2.2/3.0, or don't state either way - I haven't linked those).

Re: Towbar for a 3.0 HDi C5 Touring 2009 Exclusive
You won't be able to transfer that I suspect as the DT20 engine C5 X7 3.0 HDi requires a specific harness.
Ok, specifically for your C5 X7 3.0 HDi, the following are compatible:
SWAN’S NECK TOWING BALL, (9427CX) (Thule) (Sorry about the photo - that's the official one!). Towbar Harness 13 Channel, specific for the DT20 (3.0 HDi) (9428F8) (Non-specific photo, but will contain the correct trailer Fuse Box. Fits tow hitch Part Nos. 9427CV, 9427CW, 9427CX, 9427CY. TOWBAR HARNESS ADDITIONAL (Provides power for a Caravan Fridge) (1609732180)
