V8V Cabin 12v Power Socket
Discussion
As things to break go it's pretty insignificant but I'd prefer it if it worked, it used to, but not any more, luckily the boot socket still seems fine.
The illuminated ring around it still works, which makes me think it's not the fuse, but swapped that anyway and that unsurprisingly made no difference.
So what's the next plan? How hard is it get out? I doubt very much if it is a bespoke part and pretty much any 12V socket can be made to fit but how much of the dash needs to come out to get to the one screw that is inevitably put in at stage 1 of the production line.

There are two fuses. One for the illumination and one for the power. The power one is listed as a spare in the book though.
If you need to get into the socket connections it's quite easy. Undo the rear aluminium trim bar behind the seats which will expose a screwhead. Undo this and you can slide the cupholder section backwards and lift it away. That exposes two screwheads on the section with the ashtray. Undo those and you can lift that section up to gain access. 10 minute job.
