like all car

+ to + first

then - ve to -ve a

all explained in the owners manual page 110

the Porsche charge o mates are a wise investment,

if you get the cigarette lighter wired for a positive feed you can just pop one end in there, shut the door and leave it

I've even bought one for my bodyshop and he says its so much easier to put it on overnight than to charge up a flat battery at the end of the week

Ikea is point blank shopping trauma. Part of what I do involves furnishing properties to rent. Doing a whole house’s worth of flat pack is depressing. Doesn’t help when every OAP and Mother avec screaming brats uses the store as a day out, when I just want to smash and grab.

However I would recommend the Green marzipan/cream/sponge cake thing it’s delicious (I think it’s called something like Princess cake sold in the end shop and you might find a slice in the café)

The only reason I allow myself to be dragged to Ikea is for the hotdogs... :wink:

Mark, so you can't just plug a Porsche battery charger into the cigarette lighter? ie. please can you clarify wiring it for a positive feed.
