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.

Ron.

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

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  :-\)
