The top half of me gear selector is very faint but the bottom N, D, 1 and 2 are fine. The P and N light up red when selected but not the green back light. How do you access the backlights?

Anyone got a description list of paint and trim codes?

Excellent! Might give that a go myself!

Well I managed to source a CD changer and brackets off the bay of e. Another result was finding the drivers handbook on-line, so I've printed a copy. I word of warning though regarding the changer. You cannot just add an Alpine changer to the standard radio. Apparently Jaguar in their crazy wisdom h...
