Yes all fitted fine. Not able to activate it though as the iid tool activation code isn't working...

I haven't even carried out the most basic of checks to be honest. It was a rush to assemble the car on Sunday and now it's gone wrong on Monday - so the focus is on getting the thing usable.
My big task, now that I do have an IID tool that is paired with the car, is to work out why I have a check engine light but no faults showing!

Heated steering wheel working! The fuse had blown for the cigar lighter...
Engine check light off... Throttle position a/b discrepancy. Once cleared it hasn't returned.
Been for a run out and all is well... For how long though?

So my throttle pedal issue hasn't returned at all. The car is running very well. the dash warning light was on for several days and then mysteriously turned itself off.
Otherwise I am a happy man. I did a TYRO in the car today and it went well enough. Now that I am used to it off-road I think I will enjoy it... It's very much different to my D2 and Defenders.
