Anyone know if there's a Vx loom/plug available to connect into when wiring the 12N socket from the towbar?

Or is it a case of using Scothlok-type connectors behind the N/S/R light unit?

Oh, it's my '99 mini-facelift estate that this concerns.
TIA.

There's a plug behind the plastic rear face in a saloon boot .. but no idea about an estate ..

If you have a box of Scotchlocks ..... bin them! Solder your connetions.

You haven't got the loom that uses the original socket in the boot though, it's like mine & plugs onto the loom around the tail lights.

Just solder the connections

This little plug in the spare wheel well of the estate.........Can you just trace which wire goes to indicators, brake, and sidelight on that plug, and just solder the 7 core wires on to it???
would make fitting an awful lot tidier for me when I fit one!

Car ................. lamp ............12n
Black/blue ....... rear fog .......blue
black/white.......left turn .......yellow
black/green .....right turn ......green
grey/lack ........left tail .........black
grey/red .........right tail .......brown
black/yellow ....stop lamp ....red
brown ............earth ..........white

be aware though, that the brake light is wired via a relay base behind the glove box on facelift cars/above the driver's feet prefacelift cars, for the 'trailer check control' So you either take the feed directly from the stop lamp or bridge the terminals of the base or buy the check relay which will extend your brake light check to your trailer when connected to your car. IIRC £16 from the dealer ... the part number is on the site if you look hard enough

You will have to get a solid state relay to fool the lamp check. Readly available at the towbar suppliers.
Had one fitted last year, no prob at all. Not expensive either.
