I reversed my car up ramps.  In theory the bumper needs removing, it makes life much easier for access, but it's possible to fit with it still on the car.

Estate? They should all be there, but don't use scotch locks ........  I made up a plug using various foglight bridging plugs, but failing that you'd be better cutting the GM socket off & making a soldered connection directly to your new wires.

It's a saloon ...... Doh!  Remove the black trim from the rear off the boot, you'll find the socket there (A round one on facelift cars)

Just be aware that, by law, all towbars fitted since to vehicles manufactured since 1998 MUST be type approved

The type approval probably changed between PFL and FL but I don't know ... worth checking first ?? as a non-type approved towbar would be an excuse for Insurance to be nullified ..

Very good point!

f...k the law the tip is 2 miles away

[Steve B]

Yes, probably.

You might find the hitch is a little short as the bumper protrudes a little further on the facelift, but it shouldn't be enough to hamper hitching-up.

A bit of the underside of the bumper will probably need to be cut to clear the lock mechanism and electrics, but none of it is visible unless you're lying under the car.

see what yuo mean..thats what i call close
