Hello all,
I have a low mileage Japanese import and i don't know if its to do with the heat out there but the sport and stability control buttons are horribly sticky and rotten looking unlike every other button in the car and I'm wondering is they can be simply popped out and replaced? It can be generic buttons as i don't mind if they are blank and as i will never use them anyway. I've tried cleaning them with all the usual recommended products but all that's happened is the buttons started going white at the edges and the signs came off but buttons stayed sticky and now look worse.
XJ has a few wee mechanical and electrical gremlins i can live with as long If I'm not making them worse by leaving them but first thing i wanted sorted was the exhaust to hear the V8 which is done, replace the sidelights with LEDs which was done today, then replace these sticky buttons and eventually get the headlining sorted if it gets any worse but at present its ok, but then i don't sit in the back with it flapping around my head, oh and try and clean the headlights plastic as they look like they are filled with dry ice from an 80s video.
Cheers.
