Has anyone fitted a towbar to a W140 series? I don't have any exploded diagrams of the back of the W140 but assume a Witter will be much the same as I fitted to my W126 series which is a straight bar to four holes where the rear bumper fits + and underside part? Fact is, I haven't discovered the bracket holes so far which I thought would be obvious.
A further problem, will be the electrics, not so simple as the W126 where extra connections don't create warning signals.
I have read on another forum that I will need a black box and that this wiring harness connects to a seperate fuse perhaps direct to the battery, for Towing electrics. Or, is the connector and seperate circuit in situ and just requires the wiring into a connector socket in the car? If so, where is this placed.
Any help appreciated as I have bought a Trailer (yes - cart before the horse !!) and need to fit a Bar.
Thanks
