Right Now having completed the install and with photos is a blow by blow guide of how to do it.
First things first what you will need:
Cigarette adaptor £9.99 (got mine from road angel however sure more available on the bay)
Fuse Holder £3.49 (Halfords)
Mini fuse 20A £1.89 (Halfords)
Blade connector
Bullet connector
Some cable ties and some foam.
Right step 1
Identify which fuse point to use I went through them all with my meter and found which were constant lives and which were live on the ignition. I went for fuse 9 which was a mini fuse and was not allocated to any devise.
Step 2
Secure power cable behind dash and through to fuse box, achieved by simply feeding wire along dash and the pushing under the trim.
Step 3
Now to put the power loom together. On the positive wire I have wired in a fuse connector and inserted a 20A mini fuse just to be safe. I then on the negative terminal crimped on an O ring connecter. The fuse block could be soldered in place however I used a bullet connector here.
Step 4
Next I attached the O ring to the dash bolt which gave an excellent earth.
Step 5
I now had to trim the spade connector to fit fuse space 9 as this was a mini fuse and then inserted into position 9.
Step 6
Now to tidy up all the wires....
To do this and protect the adaptor and inster and stop it ratteling about when placed behind the fuse box I wropped it in foam held together with cable ties.
I then carefully placed everything in behind the fuse box area.
Install done all working.
Hope this is of help to everyone!
