Default Niggles fromantic a newbie.

Hi all
I have a few niggles and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
1. Rear arm rest cup holder is stuck in and I can't see a way to take it apart to fix it.
2. There are two Leds in the front arm rests they don't work but do quickly flash red when I move the light switch between auto and side lights.
3. I have two square holes in the bottom or the rear view mirror and they emit light permanently.
Hope you have some ideas. Cheers Blakey 😎😎

Well for number 3 it sounds like they are the two white mood lights that gently illuminate the centre console at night and I believe they are on all the time

About point three, push the wide forward-most button right in your roof panel, between the lights. It will cycle through the interior lighting options. One of these will be 'all off', which will stop the lights from turning on.

I bet when you do, you'll miss them and turn them back on though!
