I threaded a mains cable into my cabin from the engine bay this afternoon. I found that the metal panel behind the battery is secured with two torq bolts, one under the plastic trim under the windscreen and the other on the right by the bonnet hinge. It then comes away and revels a void with a round 50p sized rubber grommet. I found that sitting in the passenger footwell, I could thread my right hand under the dashboard, after pulling the cover under the dash off. I located the rubber grommet in the fire wall and pushed it out.
In the metal panel behind the battery, I made a 20mm hole for a plastic cable gland to protect the cable from sharp edges.
After threading the cable through, I wired in an inline RCB and an ABB make connector, which now sits infront of the battery.
I have left the cable stowed under the driver's seat for now but plan to route it under the cabin carpet to the driver's seat and wire up a single socket to allow me to plug in a multiple extension cable when static. I can also plug in the leisure battery charger when at home.
Apologies for no images.

Hi , @Texxaco, they are the carbon effect ones and I already have a 1st dibs offer off someone else. He is letting me know tomorrow.
Ashton side bars and Climair deflectors
Nice! I didn’t get my bars on yet! (Other jobs got in the way and it’s going to rain again soon!)
Ok no worries mate, if they don’t get sold I will take them. Cheers @GONA66
Need to take off my chrome ones first!
Certainly not a job in the wet. Especially if there is undertray cutting involved.
Damn that Reg Plate would be PERFECT for me
And just to rub it in- £250.00 direct from DVLA (although it was 10 years ago)Damn that Reg Plate would be PERFECT for me
Nice trapezoid bars those. Definitely gone on the list! Saw another review about the build quality of those and the ease of fitting. Would you agree?
I don’t think you’re meant to fit it like that, I mean how are you going to open the boot???Thanks to a break in the weather yesterday, I've fitted spoiler and run in the split charger cable under drivers seat
