View attachment 45687 Any ideas what this is? I’m guessing a power point for something, maybe when towing?
Any reason I shouldn’t cut it off?
12N (road lighting) and 12S (supplementary ie fridge, charging & reverse light) for a caravan.
Isn't there a towbar too? If you remove them, be aware that there should be a permanent 12 volt supply to the grey 12S socket .... don't short it out
If you have those, do you also have the hide-away towbar that my S204 has? To get at mine I open the rear NS cubby hole, there's a big knob you turn a little and the tow bar drops down, pull it across into position then turn the knob back to lock it.
Thanks. Nope don’t have a fixed tow bar, unless there’s a drop down one hidden under there somewhere. Car is due a service next month so I might just let the garage do it while it’s there
I had the visible variety on my RR and first Volvo estate, as my shins can testify. The number of times I bashed a shin on the damned thing when loading or unloading the boot! I much prefer the hidden one on my S204 - which has only been out once - and that was to see what it was and how it worked, and was put away immediately and has not been out since!
.... It is very much a cosmetic thing so I will definitely have it cut off and blanked off so it cannot be seen
Bet MB charge an arm and 2 legs for that option (with the reversing camera as well, of course!).
Looks very handy for nicking motorcycle trailers... . Get back home, press the button "can't have been me gove'nor, no tow ball..."ha ha
