Can anyone tell me where I can buy the two connectors that go on the back of the cigar lighter in a TD5?
I am wanting to make a piggy back connector, so I can wire in some USB sockets. Yes I know I could probably just use spade connectors, but wanted to try something more secure. Wiring diagram shows C0074 and C0089. I think the L shaped plug could be YPC109020, but can't find that anywhere. |

I have purchased the USB socket from MUD
https://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/mud-land-rover-usb-socket They already have a fuse in the wiring, so that is already covered. Was then just looking for the closest power source, which seemed to be the cigar lighter. |

I bought a couple to do the same but despite scouring my emails I cannot find the order details! I may have bought them from Martin on this site.
Pretty sure these are the ones? Contact Martin he will sort you out. https://kojaycat.co.uk/6mm-2-Way-12v-T-Aut...r-in-White https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323741937422 Alternatively do you need to retain the cigar lighter/socket? If not have you considered one of these? Click image to enlarge > 110 XS Double Cab Last edited by hank on 26th May 2021 8:40am. Edited 1 time in total |

I think I will just stick to the OEM look of the MUD USB plugs.

Fair enough. If you find the illumination too bright on them refer to this post https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic75987.html?start=21 > 110 XS Double Cab |

Thanks for the tip! Hadn't got that far yet, but I am sure it would have bugged me.
Have already changed the colour on the radio to match the Defender green 
Martin is also sorting me out with a wiring loom, to fit the back of the cigar lighter. That saves me that job! |

Martin provided me with the piggy back connector for the cigar lighter, this just came with two wires hanging off. I will let him comment on the price for this.
I then had to do the soldering to join the plugs from the mud kit. Then, I also used a piggy back spade connector and some 200K resistors to reduce the brightness. As I didn't have either the piggy back spade connector, the shrink wrap sleeves nor the resistors, these cost me about £15 in total from Amazon, but now I have lots spare. Fitted today.
