A suitable fuse should be in line on your positive run from the battery, preferable close to the battery.

hope this helps....
kinda. The thing is at the moment there is no cigarette lighter socket at all, so i've got to source one of those, which is much more difficult than i thought. Is it a case of following the positive terminal connection from the battery into the main wiring and then pulling a positive wire out from there?

i might do automotive engineering but i don't have a clue
