Re: Gearbox problems. Manual gearbox oil capacity?

Another update. The problem continued after this and steadily got worse. I managed to get the gearstick to jam whilst the engine was off which led me to believe it was either worn gear linkage or internal gearbox, not clutch, flywheel or engine mount. I decided to look at the cheapest first and take...

Re: J11 7pin towbar wiring

Finally used the bike rack last night. Lights work perfectly and added bonus was the car recognised the plug was in use (even with my hack wiring) and notified me that the racks indicators were working with a flashing dash Icon. Shame it didn’t automatically turn the reverse sensors off. Still have ...

Re: J11 7pin towbar wiring

So it’s done with voltage change? Maybe that is something that the dedicated towbar harness can identify and translate to power each individual light

Re: J11 7pin towbar wiring

Yup, pretty much. The only changes I made was to wire brown and black 12n wires (RH tail and LH tail) together as there was no separate output on the cars socket, the red wire on the socket output did both sides. Also the blue 12n (fog light) is wired into the reverse on the cars socket as I prefer...

J11 7pin towbar wiring

I’ve just finished wiring my Universal towbar electrics using the the stock pre-installed towbar electrics that are fitted in the j11. I didn’t want to fork out £60+ on a dedicated wiring kit so I bought a cheaper universal kit for £25 which came with a bypass relay. After doing a bit of research I ...

Re: J11 Universal Bypass Relay wiring 7pin towbar

Thanks for the replies and thanks for the link calnorth, I’ll check it out. I’ve already fitted the brink towbar with removable swan neck ball. Was a bit fiddly to fit on my own but got there in the end. Ran out of time to do the electrics. I know the dedicated wiring just plugs into that plug on th...

Re: J11 Universal Bypass Relay wiring 7pin towbar

Thanks. I’ve read that someone with a j10 stated there is a plug in the boot that provides power and controls for Towbar/trailer lights. I think they wired the 7core towbar wire directly into it and didn’t use a bypass relay. Apparently there should be something similar in the j11. I’ll have to get ...
