Title: Permanently live 12v sockets.
Post by: rwleigh on 24 August 2019, 13:18

Thanks to breezasib on the new arrivals thread I've discovered this was a thing and so easy to do.

Thought i'd share it for those others who might find it useful. All you need to do is move fuse #40 half a fuse length up and you're done... Simples!

I'm currently maintaining my battery with the trusty CTEK via the 12V socket in the boot, much more convenient than clipping directly on to the battery under the bonnet.

Note to self: Must look for a bright white LED lamp to replace that horrid yellow thing in the boot! :grin:

Actually in the How To’s here:

Also, if you put a normal led festoon in the boot light, it will still be dimly lit when the boot is closed. Bulbs are available that will not. No links, sorry.
