Aux Socket

Mace:
Can anyone tell me what amp cable I need to run an extention off the ciggy lighter to the back of the boot area?

And where's the best place to run the feed from at the front?

And does it need a separate fuse and what rating?

It's just for general use and for nothing in particular.

Ta very much.

P.S I want it to be permenant live !

Range Rover Blues:
There should be a terminal bolt through the bulkhead you can connect a fairly heavy cable to for this purpose.  Fit an inline fuse and use cable of at least 20 amps, you never know how much you'll come to rely on it!

TimM:
I think I've seen Cigarette lighter sockets (with a little flap) in the boot of Discovery 2's, if I'm right then one from a scrap yard might prove an easy way of installing it (possibly the trim etc is interchangeable).

Can anyone confirm / deny this?

Damonski:
On my disco the "front"/original cigar lighter is switched with the key. I am also planning a "coolbox" socket in the rear, but waiting till I finish deciding what other cables I want to run to the backend first ;)

Andy.:
I have two one in the passenger seating area and one in the boot, both wired directly to the second battery with 20amp fuses inline.

I've seen a couple of nice Freelander sockets on ebay which should be OK with other vehicles.
