Get an inverter, it will have a 240volt uk plug socket on it, plug the xbox into it, voila.

You need a 12v AC to 240v DC power invertor.

I wouldn't run it directly as it will drain your battery, run it off a live that turns off with your ignition.

Can't blame you for not being able to find the Ice section mate - It's in a shit place now.
