    One thing that still bugs me is the little white light that is always on in the overhead light cluster. It stops the cabin being properly dark at night. Has anyone successfully removed this and is it difficult?

    Just had a chap claiming to be from Octopus saying he needed to read the meters - but we have smart meters that are accessible remotely and mean we don't need meter readings! He claimed it was a legal requirement. I sent him on his way. Anyone else had this?
