STOP!


go to Maplins, they do a nice car laptop adapter, kicks out the right
voltage and ampage. We run out Acer 270 Travel mate on it no problem.

I lied...we blew a fuse trying to run too much off the ciggy socket. Fitted
an Additional socket for the Kids in the back and been fine since.

The DVD player, surround system, x box, food blender , coffee maker, night
light, microwvae and Plug in air freshner may have been asking a bit much
;0)

fuse that feeds the faglightersocket in Edward keeps blowing, I reckon
metallic stuff creeps up behind the socket in the dash tray and shorts it
out, but I've never caught it in the act.
