Been busy with work for a while and the car has started reliably(ish) so not had a go at cleaning the contacts till today. The socket is in really bad condition and some of the pins are breaking up. Others can't be found at all, just melted plastic goo in there.
As Mighty 306 suggested earlier i need to find a replacement and somehow replace the socket by soldering all the wires in. Could be a long job.
Why does the thing melt down in the first place? Might mean there are problems in the loom somewhere.
If i go ahead with it i'll post some pics.
Anyone know where i can find a scrapped 306 hdi in the Hastings area or even a cache of old looms?
