Looks like my fan speed surround on my EP3 hasn't been fitted back properly. How do you get the fan dial off to get to the facia part to push the surround back in? I will go and get pics in a moment.
Mine did the same as yours, could see the light through the gap. Found the clip had broken on the surround but so a dab of glue to put it in place and not moved since.
I've stripped more consoles than I can count, if you still need a hand let me know. I've got a great big pile of all these parts and I'm very good at ripping stuff apart. With gusto.
Hell, if we ruin the console and fan selector unit, then we just pick another one out of the pile in my garage.
