2022 has not been a great year for me.

Driver seat base leather repaired. Borderline job, but I'm through fighting.

Upholsterer didn't route the seat heater wires correctly, so I had to disassemble and re-route.

Replaced the rear passenger door lock module as I thought that's why the vanity light wasn't working.
Turned out that wasn't the issue. Light still not working.

Found out that the screw holding in the door lock cylinder (arrowed below), is only supposed to be turned 12 revolutions.
Not removed.
If you remove it all the way, the gold mounting bracket (just visible on the right)) falls out.
Whole thing then needs pulled apart! Ask me how I know.

However, I learnt that (part of) our cars are actually made in ENGLAND! (arrowed)

Installed rear floor mat retainer clips. I salvaged these from my donor V5.

Finally mustered up the courage to replace the gear stick bushing which obviously perished long ago. No one likes a sloppy shifter...
