If you want to get inventive, when i was working in the mines we used to break axels quite often, when they snapped off inside the housing we would use a welding rod and weld onto the broken section, then slowly remove/pull it out.

In your case i wouldn't recommend a welder lol, but a small soldiering iron could do the trick, soldier a paper clip or small nail onto the snapped off headphone jack and try pulling it out, might work.

Or
Do I just wait until I'm in the "Smoke" & pay Land Rover to fix or replace it?
Just to be more annoying the little bu99er has wreaked a $25.00 set of Harman/Kardon head phones.
I have somewhere a couple of double adapters for these plugs to cover for the short term but I would like to let the lad watch DVD's without sound to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately the Missus would see this as a cruel & unusual punishment.

Punishment doesn't teach anyone a lesson, you have to use reason ;
just look at prison statistics .........

Fantastic idea, but perhaps a miniscule amount of super glue sparingly and carefully applied - will at least keep heat away from the system.
