If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I have a tow-trust, and I can see now that I could have fitted it with the bumper on (using the special extra jointy fingers and arms), and saved an afternoons work (10 mins to remove bumper, 4 hours to repair the holes in the tub underneath :S )
I had to scallop the drivers side drop bracket, as the tailpipe just touched it.
3 years on and it is as rusty as a piece of old iron from the bottom of the sea (so much for the plastic coating) so it is rust & hammerite now.

looks like I was ill-advised
appears to just relate to 13 pin sockets .........
"There's a basic security/damage check of 7-pin sockets, but 13-pin sockets will be subject to a full electrical connectivity check and incorrectly connected or inoperative circuits will result in failure."
so after all that, looks like I needn't have bothered fitting one

Good write up, I did exactly the same thing recently but took the bumper off just to make it easier. I also moved my rear number plate because it was obscured by the towball, watch out for getting pulled on that one as per your second last picture.
