Hi ,
It is just me but all coupe have a very loose fitting cigarette lighter socket. Meaning any sat nav,car charger beardy stays in.
I have a doblo van exactly the same. Any one found a remedy or swapped it out for an alternative socket?

Take a ciggy out of the packet and jam it in and then you'll be a cigarette lighter.

I am just about to and have figured out how to get it out,you have to twist the metal in the plastic to release it,I am waiting for a socket from the bay.My charger would not stay in the old socket
