Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi all, really petty question, but should my cigarette lighter have a light within so that you don't just stub it into the dashboard in hope? if it does, how do i replace it? i trid gentle levering as per speedo etc. but it didn't seem too keen! cheers, adam Migration info. Legacy thread was 11344

POST 2Original post

I think I'd pull the fuel/oil levels gauge out (the extreme left-hand one) and get at the cig lighter unit from behind. < Migration info. Legacy thread was 11373

POST 3Original post

You need to rotate the metal body a quarter turn and it will free up. BUT the connector/bulb fitting is too big to come out - which I guess means the plastic bevel surround thingy also need to come out. Thats where I got stuck. Doesn't seem to twist. Couldn't pull it out. Anyone know? Migration info. Legacy thread was 11393

POST 4Original post

I was told by my OPC that the light is not meant to light up at all (thus meaning that it actually isn't a light!). If you'll pardon the language, mine has never glowed in the dark ever since I bought the car! Migration info. Legacy thread was 11396

POST 6Original post

Chaps Neither of mine have had a light in by the cigar lighter (one in Oz, one over here), and I asked the same question - there is no illumination apparently. If you look closely, the only where the light could come from is within as the outer edge is black plastic - hence when then lighter is in position, you wouldn't see it anyway... Damn I'm good today!

POST 7Original post

There is a light (on my car). I have seen it! But only illumination only visible when the lighter element is removed - to help you replace again it in the right place. The "knob" itself is not illuminated. Migration info. Legacy thread was 11411

Ohhhhhh *****! Wrong again... Vic - if you find out how to do it, let me know as I always thought there wasn't one. Good to know - thanks...Andy Migration info. Legacy thread was 11413
