However, after actually using the ... |

My thinking was that I’d rather have a spare motor and gear case collecting dust than have to assemble and disassemble twice.
By the way, I learned in the comments to the PowerfulUK YouTube vide ... |

I finally had time to fix it today.
It was not necessary to remove the tow bar. I only needed to remove the plastic bumper cover along with some other trim pieces. Then there is a plastic lid on to ... |

Rinsed with lots of water and sprayed with rust-dissolving spray.
No signs of dirt or rust on the shaft above the rubber grommet, though, and factory grease left.
Didn't help.
Just ordered a ... |

Thank you!
My towbar is used monthly, except in the winter. Hence the pause from December until now.

Thanks!

By the way, the sound it makes when trying to deploy is something like this:

I sprayed WD40 (or rather, something similar), on the lever for the socket for the trailer light connector.
I can't get to the mechanism for the tow bar from below. Since I haven't removed the tow ... |

Car and Driver says that it is getting a 523 hp 4.4 liter turbocharged V8.
Which, I suppose, means that the rumours of a BMW V8 were true.
The smaller engines seem to be JLR Ingenium engines, lo ... |
