Before I go traipsing off to the dealer; any thoughts on why the 12v sockets would have stopped working? I've checked fuse 40 but it looks fine.

Yep. All three are dead. I had them fit a towbar for me when I bought it -maybe they unplugged something?

Very possible. I suspect the interior load area trim has been disturbed. Likely something not plugged back in .

Aha! That makes sense. The wiring for the towbar is in the boot and doesn't look brilliantly secured. I'll have a poke in there before I give up.

Nothing obvious. As it's under warranty I'll just take it in. I did find two random wires but received wisdom is they're preparation for 'virtual pedal' boot unlocking.

Looks like there’s another fuse # 34 . May be worth checking .

I'll check when I'm in a good mood. You have to remove the glove box to get the b***** things.

Isn’t there an access flap at the back if the glovebox?

Nope. You have to unclip a damper arm, fiddle it past the stops and let it hang off the hinge in the footwell. If it was LHD, you slide out a cubby next to the steering wheel.
