Oly Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Will my Witter towbar off the old shape C-Max fit on my new shape C-Max? Witter's website (according to the part numbers) and Witter girl on the phone (probably just looking at the Witter website!) say that I need a new one, but both of the Witter instruction pdf diagrams (for the new and old shape) look VERY similar and one ford dealer (I think I should double check!!) who I've called say that the same one should fit. Knowledge & experience please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Just spoken to another ford dealer who said that it should fit as basically the undercarriage hasn't changed, but the bumper might have changed requiring more cutting. However, he also said that I might not want to splice straight into the electrics as it has upgraded electrics that if cut into may 'spike' the ECU and invalidate the warrenty (they wanted £200 labour + wiring loom - NOT supply the towbar itself!!) - scare tatics or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Cheaper than a new ECU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Another Ford dealer (smaller one though) has just said it should all be fine, swap straight over, no worries with elecs body etc, £100 fitted! Could really do with it being fitted by Ford as it's a company car! As an extra though (+ the tax) I would pay it's value several times over if I got the lease company to fit it!
