l can't see your pictures but it's not unusual for manufacturers to change things during production, there's a few reasons for doing so.
They also changed the position of the interior tailgate rele ... |

Still available

l find Auto Hold to be a pain when you are in slow moving traffic or trying to park. But it works if you get along with it activating every time the traffic stops. lt can be turned off in the menu.

In that case, can anyone recommend a company capable of re-mapping a D300 to D350 in South West England?
