portable compressor - cigarette plug issue
Has anyone split the cigarette lighter plug to resolve an intermittent connection issue? I have intermittent continuity on positive post and need to disassemble plug. It looks like I will have to drill out rivet holding the halves together. The question behind the question is how to reassemble the halves?

Is this the original Porsche supplied air compressor or an aftermarket item ?
You do realize this is a European style plug hole ( larger ) and needs a sleeve adapter over the end of the male portion to make the fit solidly tight ?
I ran into the same issue with using some radar detectors, specifically Escort brands. There is a male adapter sleeve which slides over the end to give it the right circumference so it doesn't wiggle free and was sent to me on request from Escort just for this issue..... perhaps this is what's needed and not a rebuild of the plug end ?
