Cigarette Lighter

[matt2e1cpc]

Hi All,

Hopefully a quick question

I don't often use my cigarette lighter but had to use it today, it doesn't seem to stay in when pressed but does heat up if you press and hold it?

Are they meant to stay in and pop out when hot? This is on a Pre-FL Mk2 if that makes any difference.

Thanks,
Matt.

Had this problem with mine, I think using a device charger bends the internal "clamps",
use a non metallic item to narrow the diameter or metallic item (screwdriver) with IGNITION off.
In the end it was changed under warranty though...........

Thanks Bedlam, that would make sense since I have a iPod charger left in pretty much permanently.

I'll have a look at bending the clamps back out.

Thanks,
Matt.

Just remove ignition key to make sure it is not live..........i did not do this once, blew a fuse and went into limp mode !!!!
