I have just installed the new mud USB point and getting the old one was a battle, solved with an air cut off disc in the end😃
I had an additional lighting supply to another switch on the back of the old and now wondering if I can still use it or need to find a new lighting circuit supply any help appreciated.
All sorted, working as it should as are the live switched circuit is working as it should happy days

I've been using a 'Baseus' plug-in charger for a few months now and it has been very good as well as avoiding some of the problems discussed above. It has the option of USB or USB-C and charges at up to 65W so it will cope with charging bigger stuff. But the main reason I bought it was that it has a digital voltage read-out and I got it in the winter when I was keen to ensure my battery was OK. Mine came from eBay (item eBay Item No. 393055352222 - you'll need to choose which variant you want) but they are also on Amazon. Cheers, Guy.

As glpinxit. Why go through the hassle of replacing the 12V port? I have something very similar to this. Since technology is constantly changing, I already want to replace mine from 2x USB type A to one with a USB Type C.

Once plugged in, it fits practically flush with the facia. I can also remove it and plug in any other 12V socket that I need. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
