Well i'm puzzled now.
I am planning on fitting my new towbar this weekend if it stops raining long enough. I just had a look at the wiring CD and it shows the brake circuit as having wire colour G/Y (green/yellow?) it also goes to the ABS circuit.
The indicators are G/B one side and G/W on the other.
The tail light is shown as R/B.

HI there,
I just cut one and see what stops working. It's best to cut them anyway and solder/heatsrink each joint. If you use the blue scotchloks the joint will be prone to failure at some time in the future,

Hi keefysher -
Have you wired your towbar yet? Just finished mine, and the wiring colours from the CD diagram turn out to be correct for the van side of the light unit connectors, they are different on the actual light unit themselves for some weird reason!
A big thanks to haydn callow for his pm'd advice regarding fitting the club towbar, cheers mate. It still took me a lot longer to fit than you...
