Just bought a 13pin to 12n/12 adapter.
I push it on and then do I twist?
How can that work?
Sorry to be dim!

Line up the 13 pin plug with the 13 pin socket, there's a locating lug. Push it in gently and rotate the outer collar clockwise (it feels as though you are rotating the plug, but you aren't) the collar is what locks the plug in place. To remove, rotate the collar ant-clockwise and pull plug out gently. Once you've done it a few times it feels right!

Thanks Adrian for your perfectly explained answer. I thought that's what I should do but it seemed wrong somehow! I just needed the confidence you gave me!
Thanks again.
Chris
