   I need help ASAP guys. My cigarette lighter decided to break last week. Ive got a new one ready to fit. I am at the moment trying to remove the broken one from the dash. I have disconnected it (the easy part) but I cant remove the bulk holder. Anyone know how to do this?
   
   Cheers

   Yeah sorry got it out now. Bit of swearing and brute force soon shifted. The green casing thing snapped but oh well. Just got to fit the new one tomorrow!
