I've got a ctek charger with the comfort lead connected to the battery for quick connect, i was just wondering where you guys have mounted your leads?? somewhere i don't have to keep opening the bonnet would be nice?

I have hard wired mine in the boot fuse box and exposed the connector at the bottom of trim panel. CTEK have a variety of accessories including a panel that can be mounted on the front grill for example. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top
Gone: MY16 RRS2 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography Dynamic, Carpathian Grey & Santorini Black Sliding Pano/Ebony & Ivory 2 Tone
Gone: MY13 RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Black Edition, Orkney Grey/Ivory
Gone: MY09 RRS 2.7 TDV6 HSE, Santorini Black/Almond

yeah charging from the front grill or rear end would be my preference due to how i have to park on the drive but i don't really want it on show to much ?

I park with the car's rear towards the house. The charger and extension reel stay in the boot. CTEK's own mains lead was just a few inches short to reach my external wall socket so have to use extension. The only visible bit is the cable emerging at the bottom of the boot lid and going into the socket.

If you have towbar electrics (I don't) then there is an adapter available on disco3 site. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

yeah i don't have tow electrics either which is a shame, do you have any pics of your setup ?

I had the LR branded CTek conditioner fitted to my last Evoque through the front grille (again because of the way round I park the car on the drive - if I back up the drive then the rear of the car is shaded from cellular phone network signals and the InControl Secure functions don't work without a good mobile signal so I have no remote monitoring facility). The connector was all but invisible in the black plastic of the grille. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
