Hello all

My 51 plate S80 has the OEM detachable towbar fitted.

Unfortunately the 13pin trailer electrics socket has been severely graunched at some point in the past so I need to replace it.

I really don’t want to lie on my back soldering a new one on so the easiest course would be to get a complete new Volvo cable assembly of socket, cable and ready-wired connector to plug into the boot loom. It’s an easy job. And I like easy...

Lots of generic ones online but I’ve been bitten by those in the past and don’t want to be breaking/splicing into existing circuits when there’s a proper loom.

So can anyone suggest where best to buy the pukka assembly? My usual searches are drowning in a sea of generic towbars... 😀
