Hi Pete

Yes , no probs , will take some piccies for u when I’m back on my feet

Going to also update it, fix a securing bracket on the front of the house , attach a steel cable that’s used on trailers / caravans , / breakaway steel cable

As at the moment the cable is just running the length of the wire

Will incorporate a ctek connector in the cable so can come apart a lot easier instead of trying to Pull out the 12s socket

Or maybe an Anderson connector so cable has more to fix too

Then Attach one end of the steel cable to the securing bracket on the front of the house , other end to the nearest side of the CTEK connector , so in theory if I drive away it should just leave the short 12s socket in the disco and other side of the CTEK connector

Hope that makes abit of sense

Ie, like the pic , having that ctek connector there, attaching the steel cable to the left hand side of it as u look at the pic

Will of course post piccies

Or just leave the bumper cover piece on the drivers front seat to remind you.

Have you looked into wireless charging like an iPhone?

I try and leave a cloth on the steering wheel or fold the mirrors in to remind me.

Thanks to G Stuart for the original post.

I have found a somewhat bigger sign, which when printed virtually fills a sheet of A4 Landscape:-

Now printed & laminated.

Thanks again to gstuart

Does anyone know if one of these 7/13 adaptors will fit in the space in the rear cross member on the D4?

I have a Ctek & a bike rack which are 12S & 12N that I need to connect to a 13pin on the D4.

Also will said adaptor be suitable to convert both black & grey plug?

I thought so
