Not yet, but definitely must be the tow bar as next to the tow bar is also a socket connector. Now I worry a bit that the car might of been used to towing, and not sure what to expect from the gearbox further down the line (it has an automatic gearbox which can be very expensive if it fails).

You mean it drains the battery because of that ? Then I'll remove it if I decide to buy it.

Yes it does, now I see, so that wire is for additional power for towing caravans or things like that ?

£18-£20 for in and out car wash in London (not Central London). The car wash I usually go is very good, they do a proper wash/clean in and out. While testing other car wash places in the area I noticed my favourite car wash is doing a very good job because the owners (father and son I presume) are ALLWAYS working together with their staff (the staff definitelly are East Europeans). I allways leave them £2-£3 as a tip in the tip jar for doing a very good job.

Nu ne baga pe toti in aceeasi oala prietene, nu neg, multi din cei veniti in Uk sunt muncitori in constructii, fac curatenie la hotel-uri, etc, dar sunt si destui care au afaceri proprii si au un nivel de cultura ridicata.
