Cigeratte lighter fitting

[eyedee]

Hiya,
does anyone know why my newly purchased ciggy lighter from Rip-off, SORRY - Ripspeed, doesnt fit in my Jap Type R lighter housing?  Are Jap lighters smaller or something?  Ive just got the car without a lighter so I\'ve never seen an original to compare against.
thanks

I dont smoke, so that shouldnt be a problem!  :p

It\'s uncanny I\'ve just bought  a series 3 and that hasn\'t got a Cigarette  lighter as well . I was told it was put  in the ashtray which is even more curious as  despite searching everywhere  I cant find an ashtray either !!

Confused ?  You will be!!!

That is odd!  It should be in the dividing pillar at the rear of the hand brake lever.  Odd thing this but when I took my interior out for refurb I found a tray with a light in it underneath the stock ash tray!  Weird no?   :confused:

Turns out, Jap lighters are indeed smaller than UK.  But surely that means phone chargers etc. for UK phones cannot fit too!
cheers
