Is the Clio cig lighter non 'standard' size

[muckyman]

My 182 cig lighter works fine, but neither of my plug in phone car chargers seem to get power when I pop them in.
Is there some French quirkiness going on here with regards to the inside of the lighter socket?

All of my stuff works fine.?

Clean it out fixes it sometimes. Normally not used for a while and get dirty

 

[Pistachio]

They are definitely different. Don't know how. Keep thinking about changing mine to a normal one but don't use it enough to bother

That's weird, mine works fine mate.

Mine fits SatNav/Phone charger etc perfectly, but I bought a replacement STANDARD lighter, and it didn't fit!

Weird.

My old non sport did this, worked fine as a cig lighter but wouldn't work anything else. I took it all apart and really cleaned it and then it worked good as new

Mine always needs a wiggle for the phone charger to work. Does look proper grubby though.

 

[McGherkin]

Mine's fine.

sounds like it might be the things u use in the lighter socket? plenty of cheapo stuff on e bay that doesn't work/fit

Gave it a clean out and all is now working fine. Changed the blown bulb at the same time.
