Not really an electrical problem so I've put it here. 

Should be so simple but I could rebuild an engine quicker than I can get the accessory socket out.   

I thought my phone charger had died but it appears to be the socket in the rear of the centre console that is at fault.    I have checked the fuse and the time delay and they are fine so I removed the arm rest, complete with the power socket and heated seat buttons, tested the wiring and that's OK so I assume it's the power socket itself.
I have squeezed the tabs, levered the tabs and they are rigid so I conclude that there must be some sort of twisting / squeezing solution to removing it. 

It's a sad day when I'm defeated by a bit of plastic, so come on guys, what's the method please.

Rear acc. socket has it`s own relay energised by the timer delay relay.
Bank of three up above the fuse box on the drivers side and coloured Red, Yellow & Green.
Green is the acc. relay. Have you checked that before swapping out the socket

Cheers for the reply Rob. 

No, I haven't checked that as I have power getting to the socket so I assumed it was the socket, but thanks for that, I'll check that in the morning.

Relay`s good then

When I removed one from a breaker I had to destroy the casing to get it out

I thought it was just me struggling with it. 

Might just relocate another one then. 

Cheers.

Sorted now. 

Used circlip pliers with angled prongs pointing outwards, locate in metal cylinder slot tabs, squeeze pliers and pull metal cylinder up.

So easy when you know how.
