Jackso,
Thanks for the quick reply, many thanks.
I decided not to run the master power cable to the front and use a relay for a fewreasons, here they are:
1, my main power cable is 4g and goes to a fused distibution box which then splits to a 8 g which geos directly to the inverter (its a BMW so all in the boot)
2, As the master cable is very thick would bo too much hassel to run it to the front.
3, i have no idea and no experiance with relays etc.
4, Just thought it would be a lot easier to open the inverter up, snip the existing swithc off and extend it.

You a corrent, the switch i bought has a light.

I have decided to bin the new swithc and just extend the red and white sires to the front and will use the existing inverter switch.

i'l also put in a little blade fuse in the red wire, any idea what fuse size i shoud use.?

Thanks mate
