IIRC the lighter sockets of the W114/W115, like old American iron, are fairly
deep
when compared to the newer cars like R107+. The lighter socket hardware, like
seat
belts, are 100% American in origin, but have been drifting. The _power_
sockets,
though, I believe retain the original depth.

I believe so. I’ll check mine when I have the time. I experienced this in my
W210 wagon, which has a power outlet in the cargo area.

It’s been my experience that the Euro cigarette lighters are pretty short, so
the socket is equally “shallow”, meaning that anything like a charger that you
put in there will flop around.
Note that if you also have a power adapter socket it will be much deeper.

I don't know. I was hoping to avoid changing one. Wonder if I can get a
larger plug on cord??

Is it a European thing? My old W115 300D socket is loose on normal plugs

It seems the PO tore out the lighter. I saw in the owner's manual a
drawing
of it. It's gone. The PO apparently had a fetish with tearing out
things and
playing with the wires.
Replace it with a good junkyard one then. There ought to be

You'd need a mighty big cupholder to fit some of those beer mugs they drink

No argument here on that one!

Huh? Ashtray has one. In a 126, both rear ashtrays have
them too. Handy for plugging in a travel cooler.
