hiya guys,
did a search of the forum before i posted, couldn't find anything.
I have a lose connection in my cigarette lighter, I have to wiggle the plug around to make it work, and then if I knock it stops working, which is kinda annoying ..
Any ideas what I could do?
Taaa

seriously though..
just wondering if you could resolder the dodgy connection.
.. or failing that, just "borrow" another from your local scrappy.

Disconnect the battery, old 206s have the lighter as a permanent live.
