Are you trying to push it in?:eek:
Cos ours you have to line it up and then twist the outer which pulls it in.

So you are trying to jam a 7pin in a 13 pin socket?

Stick with the adapter then if it works.

Then it should fit.

Maybe lube the plug(as suggested) including the outer.

Got pics ?

Something just don’t sound right:confused:

Personally I wouldn’t downgrade the car.
You never know what you would do in the future.

I will get some pics tomorrow as we have a bit of a mix match of trailers and cars with different sockets. We have adaptors coming out of our ears:)

I have an adaptor somewhere as I was going to hire a trailer with 7 pin and that car had 13 pin, that car then got written off
 
Ok sorry a day late

So first note the slope slots on the outside this is why you turn the plug to make it draw in.

The piece my thumb is on stays still as it holds the pins.

Second pic is how it would look before you place it in the socket

Third pic is how it would look once plugged in. And the flap on your socket should sit over the bit with my thumb on.

When you untwist the plug out the center piece should click to hold it in place ready to be plugged back in again.

However if you have been messing with it the center could be set in the wrong place hence you will have trouble fitting it.
You need to ensure the locator “peg” is set at 90 from the outside flap locator to be set for plugging in.
If the center is clicked in place it is not easy to turn it so could give the impression that it doesn’t turn.

Hope this helps
