Just purchased my first Jaguar. Very happy with it but would like to get everything working. I can't get the center console to open. The dealer said that is a common issue for older Jags. He stated that the plastic clip on the inside breaks and prevents opening. Does anyone have suggestions on how to get this open? Second issue is I'm missing the plastic trim (escutcheon) and knob on the passenger seat release lever. My trim code is SDZ (Cashmere). Any suggestions on where to find a replacement?

An interesting comment from the dealer - why didn't you tell him to fix it?
