Detachable Towball Help Needed

[Rick1]

/sites/practicalcaravan.com/files/images/Ricks%20Towball%203.jpghi all I have just bought a 2005 Mondeo Estate Ghia X 2.2 TDCI that has a detachable towball, the previous owner never used the towball and hasnt been able to locate the user instructions, I have been searching on line and cant find one the same, I`m not sure but I think its factory or dealer fitted the 13pin socket has Ford on it as does the towball cover. The towball its self has no name on it and neither does the towbar from what i can see. when looking at the towball on right side it has a lever it comes with two keys and a split barrel that must fit in a slot, I`m hoping that one of you guys will be able to help either with the make or better still someone has one the same and can help out with a copy of the instructions.

Thanks in advance

A popular maker of detachable tow bars is Westfalia. Try googling Westfalia and Mondeo to see if any photos look similar.

Just an update, bought Ford owners handbook for the car and in the back under towing it shows Ford Towbar and how to use guide
and it is the same as mine.
thanks for the help and advice though
