Sam,
I'm a great believer in doing things right... so I'd go down the route of lifted springs rather than spacers. No theory to support that but I'm sure someone will have an opinion.
Ciggy lighter shouldn't be too difficult. Take it abpart and check your getting 12v on one connection and earth on the other. If 12v only... instal a new earth. If earth is ok, trace back the 12v line and look for damage or a blown fuse... or... just install another 12v line to it.
Do you know how to use a multimeter...? This will make the process easier.
Where in Warwickshire are you...? Most folks put their location on their profile so we can offer assistance more easily.

i prefer lifted springs to spacers but getting in to lifts opens up a whole can of worms if you want to get it right, pesonally if your only doing it for more travel y not just fit longer shocks with your standard springs?

Not really a can of worms...
Lifted Springs
Longer/relocated shocks
Longer flexible brake lines (Don't skimp here!)
Done...
For purists..
3 degree cranked hoskey sticks (maintains steering geometry)
Cranked trailing arms (Takes pressure of bushes)
The last two items can be done over time as long as the vehicle is driven to it's new dsign limits rather than the old limits!

Heyy
Well i'm near stratford upon avon only a few miles from tyhat off road course at aston cantlow. I took the fag lighter apart, and on the same wire as this, there has been a fuel pump switch put in so i can control that when its on gas. Would this be the cause of the problem? If so can i do anything about it? Yehh i've used a multimeter before but havent purchased one yet.
Thanks
Sam

For instance, did you realise that as you'll have to cut the Chassis, you'll need to get the car SVA tested...? Big job and important to get right.

you only need to get it SVA'ed if u chop the centre of the chassis,no ht ends :wink:
