Superb project Chris and sorry for this probably stupid noob question!
I have got all the pieces and went for the Freetronics MOSFET a la Damien.
The wiring diagram on the freetronics website has thrown me (I'm not well up in such matters).
The S connection is from the -(ve) from the 12V battery supply, the G connector to the arduino board but the D connection should come from the negative side of the load? What would that be and then where does the +(ve) wire from the battery go??

Sorry for my confused state..
