Power in boot

[Pirate]

Hi Everyone
Is there anywhere in the boot of a Citroen C5 on a 02 plate you can get power to connect a cigarette lighter socket to run a cool box

Thanks

I ran a wire from the fusebox next to the battery (using a vacant fuse slot and a 20A large fuse) down the underside of the car and back through a convenient grommet on my 2000 Xantia. Coolboxes tend to draw 5Amps+ so any exisiting wiring is unlikely to stand up to that draw unless it's specifically for a power socket, which if there isn't one already I'm guessing isn't there?

Try boot light! I think its permently live, and the earth is switched, however it might not be man enough for 5 amp!

silly question for you as i dont know a lot about the c5 but on a xantia there is a feed at the back for the caravan (grey plug) electrics, is there such a thing on a c5,
