As you know i have got a ps2 and dvd player in the boot. I also want to add a tv tuner but im unsure if i have a power socket in the boot. Where abouts do i check?

Also i want to run a wire from the boot to the rear seats but i cant see any way do it. I dont have fold down seats.

I have one in the trunk/boot. With the trunk lid opened, look just below the right edge of the trunk opening, on the interior wall--it's covered by a small door (or see page 100 of the owners manual!!).

I checked in the boot to find the power outlet. I checked on the right hand side past where the storage space is.

The panel is quite loose but there is just 1 clip which i cant undo. How do i undo it. Ive tried pulling it but nothing.

Any pics will be apreciated.

Go to the page below--in the current owners section, click on 2005 owners manual (english), and on page 100, you'll see a pic (not sure if UK cars have it):

Ive checked and it does not have it. Do any UK cars have the power outlet in the boot?

UK cars only get the power outlet in the boot if you specify the split/fold rear seats. Luckily I found this out before it was too late and managed to update my order!
