Replacement part was aftermarket, I was just wanting the switch but it came with the latch and can be retrofitted.
Anyway I have it on and it works.

The old girl is off to get new radiator and side coolant pipe done today.

Been considering getting a new vehicle as the D3 is now 18 though not sure what to get. I need to tow a 2500kg caravan and needs ample space in the back for putting some of my RC planes in.

MUX, Everest maybe, everest uses the 3.0L lion engine though, assume its pretty similar to the one in the D4, can't find a lot about it.

Yep same TDV6 and some same old issues like cam pulleys exploding, not heard of any crank issues though.

After much soul searching I have decided to keep my D4. The D5 just seems so noisy and the rear seats do not lay flat. I really wanted a RR Sport but the tow pack now includes a hide away tow ball not a square hitch!! FFS!! So looking at RRSport electric seats so I can have the arm rests. Issue is all the seats that I have seen are not the same stich pattern as mine. So what year RRsport should I be looking for? Then one wrecking yard said if all you want are the arm rests just buy some wrecked seats unscrew the arms and fit to my seats. Evidently they are a bolt on the side of the seat frame. I can feel a round hole in the sponge on the side of my seat but wonder is there a welded bolt on the frame. Any one here know? thanks. My Car is 2016 May build D4 Graphite
