I obtained the following information from a post on this forum and made a note of it. However I didn't note the thread or the author. Can anyone help?

Ok then. There is no schematic diagram in the instructions but, working it out I can see the solution.
You need the twin wire cable "C" from the towbar wiring kit. This runs from front to rear, inside the car and has a thick red and a thin, yellow/brown. It costs about £15.00.
At the top of the drivers kick panel and adjacent to the throttle pedal are a pair of wires in an orange connector; a thick, brown/yellow, and a thin, brown/blue. The cable, "C" connects to this an runs under the door frame lower trims/carpet. Insert a 20 amp fuse in fuse position F20 and there you are. 12v in the rear!!
Makem, the fuse is in the panel behind the grove box. Cable "C" has an identical connector on each end, sort of [l--] shape looking from the end. It ends at about the rear wheel box. This plugs into and powers cable "A", which has the 13 pin socket on it. Cable "B" connects to cable "A" and breaks into the cars original harness. It's just plugs and socket science!! So there are three cables in all. I suppose a short fly lead from cable "C" to your device will do it. When you see it you will recgnise that it is a very common connector and you may be able to source the parts from RS components or Maplins.

I was thinking of putting a powered cool-box in the boot at the time.
