You could always wire in another socket direct to the battery to plug your device in to ?? They are cheap enough to buy ...  (although I would always put a fuse inline for safety ....)

No need for apologies anywhere, I have had brilliant help, as usual.
My grateful thanks to all.

CTek chargers come with dedicated leads that you can leave connected to your battery.

Yep, already had it in mind, thanks - that was Plan B!

Or connect to the wire in the boot which will be present and fused which was included to supply a permanent supply via the pikey hitch electrics.

Great idea, Marks: I don't suppose you know which wire, etc? Vehicle wiring diagrams confuse me, even though I taught Electronics for 20 years!
If this is your field of expertise, may I ask another question, please?
Some time ago I replace the petrol cap door solenoid and subsequently a wire (yellow, IIRC) came off from somewhere. It must relate to the solenoid, as it no longer operates, but I simply cannot determine where it became disconnected from. I know it isn't vital for operation of my Omega, but with the price of petrol nowadays I don't want some scaly-backed dog-w*nker helping himself!

It's the large red one (IIRC there's a smaller red wire too at the plug/socket  )

Mark's  a smart arse an expert in most fields

Thanks, Andy - much appreciated.
I love this site: good information and humour to boot......
