Default Towbar wiring 'Link Kit' fitting.

So I'm finally getting round to fitting my towbar.
I installed the main harness (rover genuine) some time back, but never managed to get time to fit the actual towbar and the electrical connections in the dash.

Anyway,
reading the 'how to' and the instructions that came with the link kit I have to remove the fuse board behind the glove box and remove the fuses in the LH side then remove the RED ANTI BACK-OUT FRAME.
I've put my head in as far as I can but can't see any fixings. Also had a look on fleabay for pictures, but again no help.

How do I remove the back out frame? how is it held in place?


Moving on:

Then I have to route a green wire across to the LSM.

I currently have the radio out as I just installed a GSM unit for my FBH so I have good access behind the centre console. However how do I remove the LSM to get at the connector?


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks
Steve

the anti reversing back out frame the red one just clips on. as for the green wire that goes over. for some strange reason when i fitted mine i think it went to the ipk plug .but this was about nine years ago.if it does go the lsm i imagine remove the lower dash panel plus the surround above it this pulls off btw and you should be able to get to the plug.oh back to the fuse board it is also held on by two nuts 8mm i think on each corner.undo pull the board pull forward then turn it you then be able to poke the wire in the back.if you cannot work out from the rear which one poke something through the relevant position from the front so you can see.hope this helps

Onc you access to the LSM (as above) you can remove the screw that holds the LSM to the dash frame and pull the whole unit towards you, wiring then very easy to see and do.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I plan to run the link wire to the LSM this morning

With your help and this thread -> https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=203800 <- I can access the LSM, so thanks.

For Info, this is the 'How to' I'm using, -> https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=23097 <-

Taken from above:




In this image there is 3 groups of cables coming out of the glovebox.
1 has the 2 fuse holders,
2 has the 3 pin plug (hanging to the left), this connector is missing from my harness, must have been left on the car the harness was removed from
and
3 which is a black multi-pin connector (just to the right of the fuses). Where does the multi-pin connector go I can't see it mentioned in the how to.
EDIT: after a bit of tralling the internet I have established that this is in fact a relay socket. Does anyone have a wiring diagram to help me source a new relay?

EDIT2: Searching here I have found this thread, -> https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=241708 <- which has the wiring diagrams
