Re: UK spec cars
1. If the car is used, they may have replaced the cupholder for the storage bin. Cup holder is behind right of the hand-brake (e-brake to Americans!!!)
2. I think they stopped the dimming rear view mirror after 2004/in 2005.
My 2005 doesn't have it.
3. Bottom left of dash the light should illuminate when you crank the car up.
The light only comes on when one (or more) of the tyres pressure drops.
