you know the kind of kettles and old pc's that use a '3 pin' connection well I need the male and female with about 8 or 9 inches of wire leading from the connector.
I have this kind of connector on my golf trolley but the connection is working lose and im losing power, so all i need is the connectors but i do not know what they are called, so i cant search for them on the net, can someone help me out here.

All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

Hope this helps, and it is called a kettle lead.0 -
Commonly known as an IEC mains connector - but it's more accurately IEC types C13 and C14.
More info here.
Incidentally, a kettle plug is not quite the same - that is a type C15, and has a notch taken out of one side of the plug.0 -

FYI the C15 connectors are used on Kettles due to them being specced to handle the hight heat that can be given off.0
