Has anyone fitted a 12v socket in the boot?Had one in my golf and was perfect for plugging in coolbox etc on days out.
Am sure I've read somewhere that there is a yellow 'live' wire in the loom on one of the rear lights

Cool, good to know.  So that is a direct connection to the battery+ through fuse number 26 (Ph2 fusebox)? Do you now the wire gauge and what's its original use? |

Great work Cully.I take it I could buy a 12v socket. Use the yellow live straight to socket. Wire an earth from socket to a bolt in the rear somewhere. Put fuse (what amp?) in No 26 and it should be good to go? |
