I want to install an additinonal socket in the boot (MY01)

But it must be live even when the ignition is off

Anybody any ideas

Hi m8
It really depends what current you need to pull through the socket once you'ce got everything connected up. No doubt you'll be able to find a feed in the boot somewhere but it'ls likely to be low current i.e. 3 amps or less. If that's all you need, you'll be OK but I'd stick another fuse in-line to be on the safe side. If you need more current than this, I'd take a feed direct from the +ve terminal on the battery (fused, of course) and run the cable through the cabin, which will be a pain in the bum. You'll need an earth connection in the boot somewhere.
Give me a shout if you need any help.
Cheers
Kav
