Do you want lay out or detail of something. Easy enough to find lay out, but if you want anything more specific I can take some shots if no ones got any to hand. . .

SE interiors including one of mine

Aorry Wargriff, spent the weekend just trying to find mine in the garage again, clearing out rubbish from decorating projects and didn't get round to photo's . . . But I can answer your questions.

The SE's do not have any central locking button - what's the point anyway. The boot release is under the dash above your right knee like the dash lights switch on earlier Griffiths.

The vents are Tuscan, the heating/lighting controls are Chimaera, So it is all ribbon wiring and not the mess of wiring earlier Griffiths are.

None of the push buttons, none of the 18 heater knobs and twizzly bits on the transmission tunnel either . .

Isn't that little black button (that you can just see in the photos) between the window switches the central locking button?

My SE has a central locking button, as eff eff said it's the small black button between the two window switches (just seen behind the gearstick in photo 1) Boot release is under the dash to the right of the steering column on mine, as Johno said.

Off topic slightly, but how easy would the conversion to the LE heater (from Chimp?) controls be ?

Would it involve a lot of removal and re routing ?

Weird, mine doesn't have a central locking button, wouldn't iimagine it was an option either . . Not unlike TVR to build em differently though.

More glad I don't have a random button stuck on in of the gear stick.

I'd say it'd a lot of work. Add to that I've had issues with the heater control box itself as TVR didn't build em well enough in the first place. Add in a previous girlfriend who was permanently cold even in the high of summer and prolonged heater used burnt out the connections at the control box. Modified the earth and re-routed out of the multi plug and hey presto works a treat now . .
