socket

Halfords have a 150 socket/spanner set with a lifetime warranty at £99. they seem to be high quality for an amateur like me and the life time warranty makes it seem a sweet deal. any views or other recomendations?.

I have a 2004 W209 270CDI and am having trouble with the accessory socket, it is the optional 12V one, not the cigarette lighter. Nothing I plug in to it seems to get any power, yet if I put the meter across it there is 12V present in the socket. Are these sockets different and don't work with...

I have just become the proud owner of my first merc..a 1994 C200 sport!!! It does not have a cigarette lighter but in the bottom centre console stowage area it has a strange socket with a flip cover....the socket looks like a thinner than normal cigarette lighter socket and has a copper clip...

My car has just been in as the a/c system failed due to blocked channels causing water to get into the electrics of the system (I think) and looks like they had quite a bit of a job to sort it out, pulling half the passenger side dash out etc. Anyway, since I have had it back, when I use the...

For years I've borrowed friends socket sets, so it's about time I bought my own! The two immediate jobs I have in mind are; spark plug change and front brake pads/discs on a Smart ForTwo. The spark plugs need a 16mm spark plug socket and need to be tightened to 22Nm. So I think I need to...

My cigarette lighter (the black plastic thing you push in the hole and then push the top in :doh:) has got stuck. I was trying to use my phone charger and nothing was happening thought the phone charger had broken so pushed in the cigarette lighter hoping it would pop out again when hot...

Guys, Long time no speak, hi again. I ahve an interesting problem. The cigarette lighter socket/power socket in the car has stopped working, it still lights up at night, but no power. On checking the fuse for this (fuse 23 under the bonet) there is no fuse ! But how did this use to work...

Hi, I have a (W163) 2004 ML270CDi with a factory fitted Comand unit, and tho the hand book states that the Aux socket is located in the glove box, it is not there.

Hi All When I checked the brakelight switch I took a look at the OBDII socket, :confused: There are a few more wires connected than I wouild have expected. This is what I found. OBDII Socket pinouts - Bus positive Line of SAE-J1850 - Chassis ground Signal ground CAN high (ISO 15765-4...

Assume if you will my Nokia 5800 is playing away happily via the 3.5mm socket / comand and its also linked via bluetooth to my MB car kit - what happens when a call comes in ? I will know the answer to this after I get the lead later today but IMHO an interesting wonderment

Hi The 12V socket is not powering either a mobile charger nor DVD player chargers - when it used to - so I am guessing its the car. So, after finding the correct fuse (from a quaint piece of paper in a fuse box) replacing a "15" fuse with one from the spares which have never been opened, so I...

My car is a E300TD 1997, will this socket do the trick? Thank you. Olivier...

Hi everyone. I am a new C220cdi Elegance estate owner and am very pleased with it. I might be going mad but I am sure that the demo car had a rear ashtray (for ash read daughters sweet wrapper tray) and a power socket (to charge ipod owned by said person. Mine does not have one, just a...

Is it possible to simply add an input socket so I can hear sound from my Creative Zen player via the car speakers? I do realise the tracks etc. will not show. Ta

Hi I've got to get a 27mm socket. Anyone know whats the socket size in imperial measurement? thanks derek

Hi, Could anyone point me to how-to make an 12v socket in boot which is always ON? I've seen fuses so it shouldn't be to hard to do. I was quoted over £200 by MB stealer just for labour... :devil: I'm sure that I can connect one of those splitter somewhere... Cheers Chris

Hi, I am in need of a power source for PDA/Phones on the driver side dash. Attached is a picture of a magnetic mount that i bought the car with. It is just below the Parrot bluetooth. Its the Grey Rubber Circle. Is there any way i can access a 12v connection to power up the PDA/Phone on...

I have a facelift 2004 W203 and it would be handy to have an extra power socket in the boot for the new fridge box I have just purchased. I could run a lead through from the outlet in the dash, but its a bit naff. I would rather a proper socket in the boot. Has anyone added one and if so, is it...
