Yes clips, if you go to posts #18 and #20 of @rovie you see the explanation.

There use to be a local person to LA that did burl wood for the FJ60's.
Sammy Davis Jr lost his eye due to the steering wheel on his 1949 cad that had a center that looked like a missile. Given that it is in the center, that it isn't in the immediate area of airbags and that we now where seat belts....
I find the location of the key in the Grenadier curious, the RHD foot wedge means its located at perfect kneecap height and could become firmly and painfully wedged in there in a heavy collision. Always liked the Saab centre console solution.
Thanks @Matt G. for sharing this info! A very neat install -well done!
...so one day we plebs might see a 'sanitised' version of same... who knows? ! But it's very encouraging that your dealer is so supportive in this regard.Ha, I agree on this. I always assumed that the chunky center console was because of need; they have dedicated wiring for each control. That's not the case. I'm a little surprised no one else is complaining about the integrated circuit board here. One thing that appealed to me on this vehicle was that it avoided the "look" of anything and instead was authentic WYSIWYG.
I remember watching one of those 'Inside The Factory' kind of shows about Bentley a couple of years ago. The wood and leather segments actually made me think for a minute "I'm surprised they're not MORE expensive"!
Well those pictures certainly answered my questions. On my commute this morning I thought about moving the cup holders up and the buttons back.
No waterproofing that I could see, other than the usual rubber conductive membrane between the buttons and the PCB
This is what I was given:
This would really be helpful if we get these guide for our cars, as promised by INEOS. I would even pay an annual fee for it! But I guess the dealers have placed their veto against this brilliant idea of INEOS. As long as they can prevent INEOS of sharing this with us, the more the dealers can keep us as livestock to milk and fund their business. (And the more frustrated we get)
Considering the unscrupulousness with which you are dismantling our Grenadiers, I understand why INEOS is hesitant to make the manual workshop public...

Despite the laudable idea that the Grenadier would be a "simpler" vehicle, with a commensurately reduced requirement for specialised service tools in the field, it is nevertheless a complex beast. The engines and transmissions are quite sophisticated. I don't believe that the dealers are necessarily anti the prospect of competent DIY owners undertaking minor servicing -filters, oil changes etc. Let's face it very few of us have the time and capabilities of "LR Time's Christian and Vera" but with our own Grenadier
.(Well they have set the bar high!

The fourth picture of Matt was for me a "wow" moment. I already tried to remove the "climate control panel" in the past by removing the visible screws of the panel, to no avail. Because I wanted to use the "empty button" position (I don't have seat warming) to place a wired USB charging point for my phone.
