Then you will be wrong!



Trailer road lights, fridge leisure battery charge and the fancy BMW canbus electronic gubbins for trailer lamp failure, is all normally powered from a fuse in the engine compartment fuse box - if it has been wired the way Rover intended.



From that fuse a thick cable goes through to just behind the glove box and is left there, until someone adds towing components and extends that to the rear.



That supply and fuse is a permanent live, so if you cut anything at the sockets at the rear, chances are you have blown that fuse.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
