Towbar Electrics
I'm fitting a towbar & electrics to my Ford C-MAX 1.6 zetec petrol 2008 reg. Very confused on electrics! Is by-pass relay good enough or should I fit car specific wiring kit? Quite a price difference & only want to tow a 'rubbish' trailer.

The trailer hitch and its electric must conform to the EC Type Approved specification or the car will be illegal. These days you cannot just bolt any old two hitch to a car.
