They would require wiring in, just a fused live though, earth can be made locally.

Thanks for that, where would I find a live that would be sutible?

 

[techie]

Back of the fuse box or even beteer the relay plate, can bolt directly onto the bottom of that,

Right cheers for that. Lastly I believe your the man for cruise control. How much for fitting cruise control to my 2001 cupra?

That’s interesting, it’s possible that you may have the wiring and the previous owner sold the leather interior, if you also have the auto dipping rear view mirror and rain sensing wipers, it’s quite likely that’s what’s happened.
