Best bet is through the large gromit top right hand corner of the engine bay.

Warning, make sure you cut hole at top of gromit, and cover with silicone sealer once cables pushed through, and then make sure gromit is seated properly after.

This is THE major source of water ingress into your cat.

No,

If you open bonnet, behind the fuse box top right hand corner is a rubber gromit (actuall a blanking cover) about 2.5 inches wide.

You will have to cut hole in it, but as long as you seal it after you will not have a problem.

Get a piece of cane around 3 foot long. Attache the wire to it, and push through.

There is a gap at the back of the glove box, you should be able to feel the stick with attached wire.

Pull through, then feed behind carpet, all the way to wherever your amp is.

No amp in Tiggr, but battery in the boot, so cables run in reverse :-)

Hmm, two?

You want the biggest one that is closest to top right hand corner.
