I need a replacement cable for my Roadhawk unit, looks very standard type thing just don't know what connection it is exactly..

I know I can buy it from RH for £10 ish but I have a gut feeling I can get it off ebay for £2...

I've measured the input connection and it looks to be around 3-4mm?

Here is a picture if it means anything ..

Sorry to make things complicated but it's a tad more complicated then random plug selection... You need to match the voltage and amperage too...

It plugs into a car cigarette lighter if that makes any difference?

Not really, the plug that fits within the cigarette lighter usually contains a DC-DC converter to drop and regulate the voltage to these kind of devices. It's possible it's just a straight 12v feed to the RoadHawk but that would be unusual. Have you checked on the underneath of the RoadHawk device, often there is a label that states the voltage and current requirements?
