fast help needed

ok a tad embarrassing .....but need help as ive currently got all dash out etc, to replace my ashtray assembly. the thing I cant seem to get out is the actual cigarrete part with the green ring attached to my old one ,just cant for the life off me see how it comes out without breaking it! it seems to have lugs at the back holding it in, but it looks as though they wont push in unless the silver part separately came out first but cant seem to do this either. Embarassed

would really appreciate some quick help as need to get it all back and its getting dark! Big Cry

Hi Flapjack

when I had to change the bulb in my cigarette lighter socket I seem to remember that you had to push the lighter socket through the green ring from the back then the green ring is attached by a bayonet type fixing????

It was a while when I did mine and I cant be 100% sure. hope that helps Thumbs Up

thanks very much for your reply ,I think your right ,its just I cant get it to push out ,its tight or clipped in at least that's what it feels like just at a loss at the moment, as I know its something simple but very very frustrating, any more help would be greatly appreciated

Rolling with laughter Yep your right headtorch to be exact! However I have had success! I managed to hacksaw the old unit apart to allow the cigarette part to come out then that allowed me to separate the two parts with some gentle persuasion off course!

Took ages on something so simple and stupid but I eventually got there without breaking it! All is well and all back together again for the wife to drive away in the morning, blissfully unaware off my nightshift! Thanks to the one pointer I got Thumbs Up

Wondering do you still remember what kind of the bulb used in it? Mine is getting dimmer and dimmer...

Thanks,
