Update Finally ordered a New Mondeo Titanium MC - Delivery in January. Can't wait. Decided to go with the Ford Heavy Duty (1600kg) towbar. Unfortunately this isn't the easily removable hitch/tongue type as it's not available in a Ford approved one. I will just have to remove the hitch/tongue by undoing the 2 bolts underneath instead - damn.
Decided not to go for an aftermarket one as I didn't want any hassles re reverse sensors and/or potential warranty issues from Ford if things don't work properly. Thanks for the input from everyone and for the advice re non genuine towbar and potential reverse sensors / warranty issues. I really don't need the hassle. Menai Mark |

Menai, did you get a wagon or hatch?
My dealer told me that he doesn't know where they are at with delivery. If you can give any details about where you are that would help a lot. I'm not getting any info from my dealer.

"Please place the installation manual in thr glove box after installation is completed." I found mine in the boot. "If LED lights are used on the trailer without suitable ballast resistors, the indicators will flash faster than normal." It would help if they gave a hint to the ballast resistor required! I have tried to search the net for an answer but as yet haven't found one. I am away down the coast at the moment and when I get home I may try a few different (starting very high) resisters and see if I can figure it out. Warren

Mondeo delivered. Standard Ford heavy duty tow bar fitted. Must say I think in the end this was the best option. Removing the hitch requires removing 2 bolts, however once removed you can't notice the bar at all. The typical square removeable hitch (if it were available) still would have seen the bar.
Reverse sensors work well with or without the hitch in place. |
