Sounds very close to the one we bought from Argos a few months ago (£99). The spec plate on the back says 12v but it comes with a 240->12v convertor. I've not been able to find a match to the power connector so that I can try it on 12v so we run it through our invertor. (They were advertising it as being on offer but it wasn't on display and the store assistant and I had to do a bit of digging before they found it. The confusion was because I asked for 12v and it was listed as 240v) Having read earlier posts about some TV being unhappy with a direct 12v connection when engine is running perhaps I should be a bit cautious about using 12v. Is there any way to check whether a voltage greater than 12v will cook it? Regards Will -- Will Chapman Save Our Waterways www.SaveOurWaterways.org.uk
