Default Towbar on pre-face lift 2003 v70 broke

Long shot i know.

I have a 2003 pre-facelift v70

On it was a 13pin tow ball, the internal part of the socket broke and i couldn't fix it just kept falling out so had to remove the socket complete, everything was glued in, but managed to remove the glue and silicone to expose the pins but they’re all white wires

So i thought i’d put a generic 13pin socket on it but the wiring loom on the back of this broken socket is all white pins and it goes to the grey connector in the pic.

Does anyone have the grey pin socket and loom to the 13pin towball complete

I’m in the east midlands

Hi, I assumed due to the age that they are no longer available but after speaking to Volvo it appears it still is.

I was able to buy the grey plug/loom and 13pin connector for just over £60incl…have to wait for a week but essentially thats now on it’s way.

Thanks for the heads up.
