Have you got the Haynes manual? The wiring diagrams are quite useful and show the towing socket.

Using them and a meter you can work it out fairly easily.

Halfords sell the connectors separately and a kit including cable instructions etc for reasonable money.

The wiring colours have been posted in this section before somewhere. A quick search will locate them, I'm sure.
