Started a thread on Zroadster.org as I can easily load photos on there as I'm still unable to get my Flickr pictures to upload on here.
Trying instead to use imgur to upload pictures, links below but its not working. Must be doing something wrong.

While I'm trying sort my photo link problems out I'll explain my problem.
The original cigarette lighter socket is loose at the rivetted centre connection so that my phone will not charge properly. Purchased a new socket and thought it would be an easy pop out and new on in - Not so - seems to be a white collar (to illuminate the socket in the dark) the bulb holder has detached from this collar. Does this collar screw off or clip off cannot tell. Wearing varifocal glasses and 72 year old fumble fingers doesn't help!!

I recall that it clips in Pete. Pic of my disassembled one here - white collar has clips attaching it to centre console: (one of the pictures I've tried to up load)

The bulb holder on mine also broke off. I removed the collar when I had the console out, if I remember you have to take the main metal body off first and then the collar will push out but it was a PITA to do. You will do well to get it out with the console it situ but it probably can be done.
Been busy watching F1 and Cricket on TV today so haven't been able to have another go at this. Going to have another go tomorrow.
Would appreciate any further advice on this as I'm struggling with what I thought would be a simple task!!
