Hi Matt, I use one made by Belkin called 'AC ANYWHERE'. It's about 50 quid and does a splendid job (mostly keeping the kids amused with the laptop on long journeys :). You may need to run the engine a bit, if you're using it all the time. I would be cautious and unplug it when starting up the engine, it shouldn't hurt but better to be safe. HTH Cheers, Mark. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
