The towbar is not the problem, it's the loom. Looms are available with the required LED/incandescent adaptor BUT as it won't be OEM there will be warranty problems as you are cutting into the car's loom. It seems to me that we all need to badger our MG4 EV dealer to let MG know there is a demand out here for an OEM loom.
Which brand and type of bike rack is this? EU removable town bar on MG4 can only have 50 kg top Wright, so a bike carrier should belicht if you want to curry 2 bikes
Thule do indeed supply roof bars
Hi @Davecut1 I see it’s some time on, and I’ve just ordered a new MG4 (standard). I need a towbar, and also spotted that PF Jones have this bar listed. However - They won’t quote me until I get the car and can give the plate details, so is there a way around this? Can you elaborate on what I’d need as a full kit? How much did it cost in the end? I have a friendly mechanic prepared to fit at a reasonable rate, but was it a mare to fit? Also, is there any way to do this without cutting holes? Any help on this is appreciated while I wait for the car to arrive. Thanks in advance!
Hi Ian, I can give you the benefit of my experience. I bought my towbar on ebay and I think it was the supplier you mentioned. Now just to let you know I am a fairly competent mechanic, but I found fitting the bar quite easy as far as the mechanical side is concerned. I can talk you through it if you need. I can't remember supplying any details of my car and don't think they have changed as far as construction is concerned. The only cutting is the black trim panel underneath. Now just to warn you I still haven't sorted the electrics yet. I fitted a relay that had been mentioned in an earlier post it was called something like a zr2500 but it didn't work and I am giving it another shot in the summer. All that being said as long as your confident with the spanners then go for it. Dave.
Thanks @Davecut1 - I've just called PF Jones to talk this through. Pretty sure i got the "couldn't be arsed" Friday boy (Cameron) as he was the most unhelpful person I've spoken to for months! He wouldn't give any quote detail unless I sent him a photo of my own cars actual VIN, so he can see the weights. Mine's on order so a way off yet, so I sent him the vehicle specs but apparently that's not good enough, I then sent him the tow rating (500kg) that wasn't good enough either. He said I'd sue him if he sold me the wrong bar so wont quote me without the actual car plate....(ironic as there are so few choices its probably difficult to get wrong.) This leaves me guessing, based on there website. They have a Brink option listed & shown at £279, which is really reasonable & as I'm literally only ever sticking on a small box trailer for the tip run, or dragging a small 70kg dinghy, I only have a basic lights board to power, so I'm assuming I'd only need a simple 7 pin kit? But - do I then need one of the electric adapters they also list? These are listed as: 13 to 7 pin, 7 to 13 pin, 13 to twin or twin to 13? (i don't think i need any these?), and finally, they offer an "led circuit tester" - but do i really need one - is that literally just a tester in case you need one for a rainy day? I kind of wanted to try to get everything I'll need in place for when the car arrives in around April, and then hand it over to my local fitter to crack on with. (here's hoping though!) TIA!
No idea, but a quick search shows, both are witter, £279 (via PF Jones), is the base price, but electrics are needed (£60) + coding (£70) + Fitting (£290 via PF Jones) , and then 20% VAT - £956 is fully fitted from Witter themselves via a mobile fitter.
Well I've just got a quote fitted at home:-
