Are you using a cell phone, plugged into a cigarette lighter, on a positive ground car? I thought that this would work, but didn't have the guts to risk the phone to find out. Did you have to do any

Er, no, not me. I think it must have been Mike Leckstein on the list who mentioned it. I have a bag phone which I use in the MG, (for business purposes only, you understand, (I have total faith in my

Randell, On the TF I ran a wire from the ignition switch through a line fuse to a lighter socket (Radio shack). I reversed the wires to the socket, running this hot line to the ground side of the soc

Well now wait a sec. If your intent is to heat the whole passenger compartment up to a nice toasty temperature, you're right. But if all you want to do is warm you up, low power electric heaters can

Fellow Scions, while perusing my weekly issue of the Damark catalog, I noticed that they list an "Electric Car Heater"....you plug it into your ciggie socket. Now us T type driver have an occasional

Now us T type driver have an occasional need for a little heat in the cockpit ..... Forget it. It doesn't say in the catalog, but suppose 500 watts might be "a little heat". 500watts/12volts=41.7amps

IMHO, the generators in the old T's don't have enough capacity for such a heavy load. Did the catalog mention how many amps or watts the heater takes? Even with a modern alternator, there would only

Attaboy Barney, I was just about to chime in with a similar calculation. Now, more to the point, how big is the wire leading TO your lighter, folks? Just picture yourselves trying to stay warm by hud

Well, let's think about this. You can probably draw about 10A through the ciggie lighter without burning out the wiring. So at 12v, that's 120W. Have you noticed how effective a 100W bulb is at heati

The thought of an electric heater in a T series MG is so . . . . . modern. When I owned my TD, I warmwd up the old fashioned way - zip up the toneau cover, put on a warm hat and drink single malt Sco

My TF has a cigarette lighter (hidden to connect the cell phone adapter) but its positive ground. Since the polarity is reversed, will the heater work as an air conditioner.? Since the Smiths heater

Mike: I do not think that you are correct in thinking that if the polarity has been reversed, the heater will work as an air conditioning unit. After some considerable pondering of this connundrum, I
