Cig Lighter

[Gandi69]

This has got to be the most minor fault but its annoying none the less when you want a smoke - Does any one elses fag lighter not get hot enough to light a ciggie? Ive resorted to having to carry a normal fag lighter around for when I want a smoke in the car. Mine pops up but doesnt get red hot.

hey, does it get red hot if you hold it in past the pop? if so you need to bend the little metal clips in the cigarette lighter socket in the way a little bit, that should cause it to hold in place a bit longer and get hot enough to ignite.

if you bend them too far it wont pop, so have a play to get it right

No it doesnt get red hot at all even if you hold it in for ages. Its not a major problem but its always the way if you want a fag you never have a lighter and you sit there looking like an idiot trying to light a cig for 10 minutes from it.

thats a pain, maybe the element is fooked? if your passing a scrappy pop in and get one most will just let you have it or take 50p whatever.

mine isnt great but it works

Ive got a couple of old ones from previous cars but then are too short and dont fit correctly. Probably the car saying "stop smoking in me!!"
