Hi all,

Any ideas how to remove the cigarette lighter from the centre dash console? I have removed all other buttons in preparation for painting but no luck with the cigarette lighter Question

Very carefully cut it out and replace, not cheap but it's incredibly difficult to remove without destroying it. TheThunder Rolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thanks Steve. In that case I will most probably just buy a new (painted) fascia. Any idea where i can get a new 12V socket given that I doubt I will manage to remove existing socket without destroying it?

With a screwdriver snap of the 12V socket retaining lugs and it will just slide out the cost of a replacement from eBay is between £3.99 and £4.99 for a complete unit.

I have recently purchased this one and I can vouch for its quality.
