Yes, we've switched to English sparkling wine. Ridgeview Bloomsbury and Chapel Down NV are the bottles of fizz in my fridge awaiting a special occasion. Not a bottle of French Champagne in sight...

It's called "sleeping tabs" in Edge.

OK, sorted. Door seal stuck back with Duck Trim Repair Tape (which sadly they no longer make). Tyre inflator had a broken cable at the contact in the 12V plug. I dismantled the plug, cut the cable back, tinned and re-soldered both strands & reassembled. Works again. Result.
