it seems mr Kwikfit decided to remove the centre console or disturb it in some way??
I sold Scooby this car so am wondering why on earth have they removed the switch etc?

They probably had to go searching for where to re-gas. All garages i spoke to before i started doing the work myself didnt have a clue.

Ofcourse kwik-shit are gonna deny it if they think they're to blame. When i first started i rushed putting it all back together and only realized that i haven't plugged it in when i started it up

Oil warning + brake light is either temp sensor on top of centre console disconnected or under-engine cooling fan disconnected.

Suggestion that the people you took it to were poorly trained monkeys that couldn't plug stuff back together that they disconnected.
