Yep

Just collected a `53 plate saloon with swan-neck towbar fitted with electrics. Will be removing it if you`re interested

Hello,
Yes I am interested, is it the type described in user manual that has fold up electric and removable bit or the same as older version but longer.
Could you give me a price with postage and would it include all bolts and the spacer tubes  (I presume they would be hard to get out)

[TriciaS]

Hello again,
I now have the correct tow bar (thanks to Rob G).
My new problem is that my model (Opel Omega, W reg, Import, Right Hnd drive.) does not have the connector so I just want to check that the wiring colours will be the same, I have scoured everywhere in boot (behind every panel and in every hole).
I have looked for all the colours of wire that are mentioned as being in the connector  but they are on different sides of the boot so just want to check it is correct before I start snipping wires.
Also will I need any other parts (wiring wise)  because of no connector, example blue (fog) to blue/black x2 , I only have one blue /black so will it affect fogs.
Will I need relay or just fuse upfront, there is a relay or some sort of little black box with flasher wires in and out with the towbar so does this replace the one I have red about needed up front.
Sorry in advance for being a bit thick when it comes to electrics.
Any help appreciated.
Regrds TriciaS.
P.S I have got pics of my wires showing no-where for connector but do not now how to add them.

Have you removed the very rear panel that goes along the back 

[TriciaS]

Hello again, if anyone is listening, I now discovered why I have no connector, my  wiring loom is dated 10/11/99 so as per usual my car is a bitsa on a crossover of models.

I now have it attached to the car so still would not mind a answer about the wiring and if I need any other electrical parts.
Regards TriciaS.

Hello Rob,
I still have pic that you sent me, it  does not answer question I'm afraid, it's raining again so will continue tomorrow but hope  by then to have the answer as to "Do I need another relay up front" I have seen this mentioned in many posts about towbars but do not know what it is for and if my car will need it.

When i fitted my bar . I did not use a relay.instead i took the red wire from the tow bar. (brake light) and spliced it into the brake light wire.going to the brakelight

[RobG]

Do I need another relay up front

Not necessary, just splice into rear lights

EDIT: Too late
