I decided this week due to being grounded again after another positive covid test to chase up the faulty arm rest and find out why it stops half way up..
So dismantled centre console lifted the rear up.. Unbolted the armrest moved the air bag trigger ecus out the way and took it out the back..
After a bit of close study a tooth is missing off the cog.. I fetched a spare unit but spotted the first small issue..

Different shapes. The flat ledge and more square cut out on the right is the S2 y4 unit its shaped for the air bag ecus to sit infront of the unit. The left unit is an S1 unit. So it was repair the S2 y4 unit.
The side is rivited on so I had to drill them..

And there we are one full tooth. Missing..
So ill have to Rob a cog from the other unit. The next issue was reassembly. There's little space between the side and the moving tray on the other side. Initally I thought tap the rivit remains. But that meant M4 of which I've no M4 bolts. I then decided I can tap the holes to M6 and drill out the plastic case for the bolts to pass. Through. I found some brake disc counter sunk screws.. And were M6.. The side took a thread and a half which I think is enough to hold the side on..

Assembly now for another day. I can counter sunk the plastic cover with a larger drill.. Two bolts are too long and will need cutting down to correct. Length.. But all in all should work fine. Its a guide.. Its not taking weight etc so the bolts just need to be tight enough to stop them falling out in time.
