The two diagrams show,
1) A basic lighting circuit including an appliance like a fridge also.
2) A rear image of a 3 pin switch showing how to wire something like a volt metre (those...

Hi all,
Searched on the forum for the answer to my question but no luck so far, hoping someone can help! Are 12v sockets fitted to the rear on a kombi as standard or dealer fit option? If so, which models & where? I ask as my 2019 Edition doesn't have one much to my disappointment..
Thanks

Hi,
I'm wanting to charge my electric toothbrush and electric shaver from 12v van electrics - has anyone done this? They each have 2 pin shaver socket heads which at home I plug into a 2 pin to 3 pin mans adapter. So in my brain what I need is as an adapter exists which accepts a male 2 pin...

We recently helped our mate Andy on a basic 12v lighting circuit.
Hes mega Dyslexic and wanted an easy to follow diagram because the Haynes style wiring diagrams were spinning him out.

I’ve got 6 -ve cables I’m looking to fit onto a 4 post 100A bus bar.
Do I need to use the same sort of calculation as I’d use for cable and fuse rating i.e. is the sum load under 100A.
Or should I just get another busbar?
Cheers,
flo
