What are these cables for?

75driver · 27th October 2018, 16:35

Sorry people if this has been asked a million times before...
Anyway, I got a Telestart T80 remote fob working for the Mark 1 saloon FBH,😄.
I thought I’d have a look at the facelift saloon, to see if it had the wiring installed for the Telestart...but unfortunately not.😞
Anyway, I came across these cables.
An orange cable with a grey stripe...and
some other cables with a lever action connector on it.
Any ideas???

(I’ve also seen the 2nd connector unattached in the Mark 1).

That big connector with the lever looks like the connection for cruise control ECU

Orange & Grey/slate coloured cable is for a tow bar should you ever want to fit one.

Thanks as always chaps.
A tow bar has already been fitted, so probably by someone “not in the know”.
Much appreciated👍
