Sorry about this, I have tried resizing them, but they still come up just as big, durrr, any ideas how to get them up smaller?

looking at that again .. I wonder if its some sort of "power amplifier" ... as the input wires are quite small in comparison to the outputs, and the large input on the left looks like a power source

Which why I suspect it's a 7 way by-pass relay.  :-/

Assuming using 12N & 12S sockets 

Ha ha, your going to hate me,  cos I'm not using the sockets, where do I connect the live to?
Think I shouldn't have been so tight and got this fitted professionally.

Do you mean that you're not using the OE socket in the boot? That's OK, you just need to make a proper connection ie NOT using Scotchlock connectors. You could chop the socket off & solder your  7 core cable to the individual wires.

Which live? If you mean for your newly discovered relay, just bin the relay. If you mean the feed for the caravan charging & fridge, then there is a larger red cable in the loom to the socket in the boot & put a fuse in under the dash.

You might wish to use screw type cable connectors FIRST .. to make sure everything works as it should, then solder/shrink wrap once you KNOW it is right .......  just a thought  ...

I'm just connecting single electrics for trailer, so does that mean I dont need to connect the thick red live?

Correct.
Just be aware that you pick up a live feed for the brakes (yellow/black) The feed at the OE socket is via a relay base up front under the dash. It's to extend the brake light check to your trailer - I suspect you won't want to do this  so just find a feed from the back of the lights themselves.

Thanks for all your help, too dark now so I'll have a crack tomorrow.
Cheers everyone
