Found the load compartment auxiliary wiring and connector for 12v cigar socket. Meter on and bonus it is live with the ignition off. Ordered the socket from Arnold Clark Ford (part no 1333905) who were cheapest at £10 with free delivery. The connector pushes on to the 2 spades then it is pushed into Ford's kindly pre cut hole. Ford charge £72 inc VAT for this.

Well Eco leather as it's advertised, straight off the back of a freshly slaughtered lesser spotted vinyl. They are a bloody good fit though.

That was one of the reasons for getting them, just wipe 'em clean with a damp cloth :oops:.
