Wouldn`t have thought they make a 13 pin socket for the P38 Its a bit to old ,I would have thought.

Only list separate 7 pin 12N & 12S on LRcat as factory fit.
The 12N as NLA on the usual suspects websites & the 12S as £150 plus.

ETA If you enter 'P38 towbar wiring' into the search facility you'll get a lot of info.

It's an easy DIY job, I posted connection details a while ago, I will post them again if you wish. I doubt you will find a plug and play kit, the car is too old, you could buy a 12N/12S kit and replace the 2 x 7 pin connectors with the 13 pin connector.
There are adapters available for dual 7 pin to 13 pin and vice versa.

Thanks for the reply’s, I brought a genuine towbar off fleabay with the 7 pin so I’m half way there, would I be able to wire up the caravan wiring from the left side? Or would I need to run a live wire from the battery etc?

All you extra lines you need are in the left hand side. Again if it helps I can post the connection information.
