We can only supply the parts to you if you can have a local garage install them. There are still no vehicle specific wiring kits available for your vehicle I'm afraid. Kind regards

I see PF Jones selling the Brink detachable for £244 and The Towbar Store selling an ECS wiring kit for £150 (model with rear wiper). So it looks like £394 plus fitting, which I’ll probably do myself. In my experience of doing this on other vehicles, the most difficult part of the wiring install is usually taking a cable forwards to the bonnet area for a fused 12V supply, due to trim panels.
Useful to see those instructions. Not much info about the cable run from back to front, I suspect it’s taken under the floor.
It's like any other car. With a standard rental trailer with grids around it I went from maybe 1.5kWh/10km to 2kWh/10km when doing 80km/h. I would prefer a trailer without brakes to regenerate more. It works fine, but you can feel that you are towing something. Thinks one without brakes acts better.
Takes a lot of time and effort to do videos. I will ask around to see if I can find an MG4 with towbar as don't have one on my Gen 1 ZS.
I don't know the answer, sorry, I do know some people have had one fitted and it was a reasonably expensive job with the electrics and making a cut out for the towbar and then the fitting etc... It doesn't seem trivial.
