Tow bar question

[neo2]

Can or is there a option to bolt a towbar to this bar in the pic below or does this come off etc as it appears to welded to chassis ??

 

[wammers]

Tow bar bolts to it. Look at accessories in RAVE.

You have to mount another cross bar right behind the bumper, the tow bar is attached to this bar, and then everything is bolted to the bar you see in your picture.

argh cheers guys,,,,,

 

[chort]

no problem it is really a 30 minute job if your bumper bolts aren't stuck.

 

[MrGorsky]

.... if your bumper bolts aren't stuck.

If they are (mine were) it's 30 days!

Holy sh*t, were you regularly parked in the sea?

Got a tow bar with detachable ball section so soon as i get my EBCM back and get her running i will try it on lol... do you need percific electrics for these or can you just solder into the rear light looms etc ???

Do NOT solder or connect into the rear light looms, the BECM will not like it. The trailer wiring sits behind the trim in the boot, the main one on the drivers side, auxillary on the passenger side. The BECM will know when the trailer lights are connected.

Blimey Neo you are just about to get the BECM back dont fry it straight away

 

[neo2]

DATATEK thanks for the heads up i thought i would be the case as my RRS had the plug already there too, just wasnt sure this being as old as it it etc

Sandyt Ha ha everything i do will be double checked from now not paying for another Becm repair lol....

Hi guys is this the correct part i need to bu for plug and play trailer lights on single electrics for my P38 in the link below all i tow is a car trailer and horse box etc...

Socket - Towing Electrics 12N - Aftermarket at www.rimmerbros.co.uk

 

[neo2]

anyone any idea ????

Should be - all 12N sockets are the same configuration of pins...

There should be a loom in the boot area behind one of the side panels to hook it up to - it might not be plug and play as such, so you may have to get funky with either splicing into this loom or making connections some how....

Pin out as attached.....

Further reading in RAVE indicates that there are indeed spare plugs in the required lighting looms (Fog, Stops, Indicators, Tails, Reverse) that the Trailer Socket will plug into (each lighting circuit will have seperate plugs - so don't expect one plug to plug it into - there will be 4/5 of them)

There is a single plug each side, drivers side for what the UK call 12N, passenger side 12S

I stand Corrected then....sure in RAVE looking at the Trailer Socket Connection Schematics, it shows different plugs for each lighting circuit - and also reference in the Connector views too....Something like C330 up to C336 or something!!

But I could be and usually am wrong when it comes to sparks!!

Well it is certainly a single multi pin connector each side on mine as I needed to mod the trailer wiring to suit the continental 13 pin trailer socket
