Its time i sorted out the ciggy lighter on the elite,for some unknown reason the previous owner had decided to put an empty shell in its place, so i need to know what sort of unit i need to fit the gapping hole, i took one of a 96 tourer but it was no where near the correct size.

I should have said that its the whole ash tray i need to fit !!!,not just the lighter.

You need one from a facelift.

ok thanks ,should the wirung be already in place, i have taken a look there does seam to be a conector block in behind, does the ash tray clip onto that, or is this just wish full thinking?

[RobG]

Should be 3 ? connectors for fag lighter, 1 for the ashtray light. Ashtray assembly pushes in and held by a central screw.

Looks like mine has been cut about in behind ,maybe had some kind of sat/nav or tv screen or something in there, i really could do with taking a look at what is supposed to be there, this conector is fixed to the plastic lip .
Perhaps someone somewhere has a pic?, or better still one for sale ?

[RobG]

I`ll stick a pic up tomorrow Rog

Thanks very much  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Rog, Sorry, couldn`t post the pic. Had a look on mine that I`m breaking and in the centre rear of the ashtray aperture there is indeed a small connector block. When the ashtray is fully inserted the two connectors (other on rear of ashtray) engage to complete the circuit re; illumination and cig lighter

ok mate, that would explain a lot then.So hopefully all i need is to purchase a facelift ashtray and then hopefully sorted, did you mention that you might have one,is it for sale ?

[RobG]

Sorry Rog, Joshwyatt bought it last week.

Cheers

As yours is ex police, it's likely the wiring has been chopped about a bit. Had the same with one of mine, just took a bit of patience to find the right wires and where everything should go.
