The dash lights were also an easy fix. Removed the instrument cluster trim and the the screws holding in the cluster.
The green multiplug looking towards the clocks on the left whilst latched properly, when manipulated flashed the dash lights , on found a place they worked permanently and secured into that position with a descreet placement of a tiny plastic wedge. 500 miles done of perfect dash lights.
No other issues to report ...
This is unusual , my other car is a 3.0d jaguar xf-s 😂
