12V electrical stuff you can find @ http://conrad.com . Click Car/Automotive electrical/Automotive connectors. The surface mount plug 844250 - I5 is compatible with the one used by BMW, as far as I know. I bought one myself, but haven't used it yet.

As for the lantern, I think I'm going to roll my own: plug from Conrad, cable, socket from an old indicator and a bulb. Costs next to nothing.

I'm happy with my Coleman petrol stove. But make sure to buy one with legs. I have the one without and it's unstable. Take a spare generator for it with you, as they don't last forever.

Blue and White soft panniers and matching telescopic tankbag to suit a tenere, (3aj). They are in very good condition and may be of use to you. Something like £25 for each item. Regards, Nick.
