    You thought this was going to be simple didn't you? The handbook suggests that fuse 25 in the under bonnet fuse box is involved. However, fuse 7 in the instrument panel fuse box is also annotated power outlet.

    WIS has the following for the under bonnet fuse box.
    25
    30A
    Power outlets, Accessory AC/DC Power control module
    and this for the instrument panel fuse box
    7
    20A
    Power outlet, centre glove box

    Try fuse 7 first.

    I have posted the full fuse chart but I can't actually remember where it is.

    There is some additional information here

    It appears that I haven't posted the full fuse chart but if you want more I can do that.

    many thanks your kind advice I checked fuse 7 and all was intact however 25 is missing and shining my lamp into the empty socket showed no connections or any sign of there ever been any. I needed the socket to power up my Garmin though I realised I could use the nearby usb but too low output to be of any use.

    I have two, one by the cup holder and a second one under the arm rest. There is also one in the boot, I recall having to replace a fuse but not which one. I’ll have another look tomorrow.

    Glad you have found that one. There is a separate fuse for the cigar lighter, it isn't in the hand book, try fuse 6 in the instrument panel distribution panel. The one in the boot is fuse 26 on the same panel.
