Can anyone help me?

I have an 'S' registered Ford Focus.

As a non-smoker you would think a working cigar lighter was something
I don't need.

But I need it in order to quick charge my model plane's batteries!

I wonder if there is anyone who could advise me on replacing the cigar
lighter. Where to buy a replacement and how to fit it....

Thanks in advance for your help....

In modern cars the cigar lighter without the pull-out part is called a
power socket - and often fitted with a plastic cover saying 12v power
socket.

Throw away the cigar lighter bit and get a power plug that fits into the
mating half. Any car accessory shop should have a suitable plug.

Only sensible place to get it is a dealer.

(Brief description from Haynes):

Dis battery.
Remove radio.
Undo 4 screws where radio was.
Release the retaining clips inside the insert and slide it out.


Fuse is F46 (15A), behind the glove box, if you haven't checked it already.
