Suggest you try posting this in the V40 pages - you're more likely to get an answer there

Good luck

only got 3 posts at the moment...was hoping someone had same experience and could tell me what could possibly the fault... i have to drive using hand signals.boo hoo.

sorry, but have you disconnected anything under the car?

iv never had to fit a tow-bar, but is there just a plug that you plug the wiring into or something? i would start checking around the areas that you have disturbed, then check the fuses...

appart from that i can only suggest getting an auto-leccy to take a look
