Title: Towbar
Post by: Raymienets on 20 April 2013, 18:43:16
How easy is is it to fit one on my 2.2? are there any connectors hidden or is it breaking into wiring

Done one om my 2.2 last year ..was dead easy..i wired it in by cutting etc..there is a plug in boot. but my towbar was off a earlier omega.
ie: round and square plugs.. and you have to remove the padding/foam in the boot where plate is going. :y

AFAIK. There are two types of this towbar (in the boot) PFL/FL (someone will correct me if i am wrong)

If you fit a FL tow bar to a FL its plug&play. Apart from jumping into the brake light circuit TO get the

brakelights working, or... fitting a relay under the dash

I fitted a PFL tow bar to my FL,so it was not plug&play (the square did not fit in the circle on the

electrics)so i had to cut&splice the electrics,I also had to chop the bumper, And the ball is very close to

the bumper with the earlier towbar,(PIC BELOW)But all i tow is a small tip trailer.

Talk to Andy b (He is into dealing with the far rear point of a omega)
