No it works perfect just that a couple of the control knobs have faded. Managed to grab this one as a replacement.

Hi TB, I`ve looked at the guide but has everything got to be removed just to relese the CC panel. I was sort of hoping that it could be "sprung" out with maybe a couple of flat butter knives or trim removal spatulas.

I suspect that everything needs to come off to pop t out...

I Should say! enquired at VX dealer about that panel last year as my ECO button is worn away and quoted me £500 would you believe!! the quality of the interior on these facelifts I have to say is really piss poor probably the worst I've had and I thought my last car a Renault laguna was bad!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. It's those soft touch plastics that seem to look tatty first. I'm sure it looks nice on a brand new car but doesn't seem to last long! The 'wood' tray under the handbrake seems to get really scratched up as well.

I've seen a couple of people tend to replace the plastic door 'pulls' when they have reinforced the check strap. Might be worth checking on prices. Now then, let's see if VX will entertain a group buy!?!  ;D  ::)

I wonder what 'Taxi Driver's' interior looks like after putting up with so many heavy handed clients!?!   ;)

Good point mate, I bet it's in a real state. First thing that was bad on mine was the light switch, but removed it and with a bit of effort managed to rub off that soft touch nonesense and now looks a nice shiny black , thinking of doing the same with the door grabs as they really look bad.
