Hi Guys,Just wondering if anyone can help me on this one, the cigarette lighter in my car is working in a much as if you press it in it stays in, gets bloody hot and pops out! However when it comes to charging my phone or sat nav, neither of the chargers get any power. I'm assuming the socket is damaged in some way and the first port or call would be to replace the socket, does this seem right or am I missing something? Thanks! |

yeah try that but also look inside the socket for remnants of say the collar off a sat nav or anything that might have bent the contacts. had it loads of times on another car when the sat nav would leave a little collar in there so the lighter worked but nothing else would go into the socketluckily sat nav's are pretty much dead in terms of cig lighter powered ones  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Thanks Rikky,Can't see anything inside it, guessing a part of the socket is broken which doesn't effect the cigarette lighters operation. Are the lighter sockets generic or should I get a new one from Peugeot? I assume its pretty simple to replace. |

They probably are generic for what fits inside them, but as for mounting in the car, probably more car specific so I'd grab one from Pug or a second hand one off here if Pug prove overly expensive.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
