With the ignition key barrel, shouldn't there be a flap inside that closes when the key is out? I just noticed mine doesn't have a flap, and thought it was a good entry point for crud to fall down. If it is supposed to have one then mine must be stuck open, wondering if a bit of graphite might free it up it there is supposed to be one.
I did some googling and found a video and see that this one also has an open key barrel.see pic
So is this a feature or a fault?

I thought the Rangie came with everything including the kitchen sink. But you tell me it's only a key hole? Bloody rip off mate.

Also, mine doesn't have a flap either.

in there wisdom Land rover built the hi tech fold away coffee cup holder on the other side of the console to prevent coffee spilling down the lock barrel.

At least I can sleep ok now knowing that you all have no flap and it is normal.:D
