My OEM electronic release towbar won’t release - it has power, the button works and I can hear it trying to release but it’s solid underneath the bumper. It took a few goes to release earlier in the year at one point but did, however it’s not having any of it now.

I need to get it booked in as I think there’s something awry in the mechanism, but does anyone know if there is a manual override at all?

Luckily it was just being used for a tip run with the trailer rather than heading for the Ferry for France!

has it been regularly lubricated ? it gets all salted up in the winter.
