Thanks! It wasn't too difficult to do actually. You can get the LCD key fobs from eBay/Amazon/Ali-Express/Etc. but you also need an original spare car key so that you can use the internal circuit board from that. And you need somebody with Jedi level micro-soldering skills as the wires are very...
If it's the original fob and the battery has just been changed there is a manual procedure to re-coded it to the car - it's in the manual somewhere. I've done it before, something along the lines of turning the ignition and holding down buttons on the fob for XX seconds. Have a look in the...
Get a torch and a pokey thing and, if you can see dropped plug, you can flick it to one side. Then you should be able to pull the centre console enough for it to drop out onto the footwell. I did the same thing ages ago - it is a stupid place to put a hole!

Thanks. I had somebody put it on for me as didn't fancy doing it myself but no issues at all with any MOT's afterwards and didn't change the bulbs either. But the option of swapping in brighter bulbs is there if you feel like you want to I guess.
Check out Spi-Vision or Fly-Eye film online (try YouTube). It's vinyl with holes in it so it still lets the light through but looks black from a distance. Here's mine finished and mid-way through application a few years ago so you can see the difference. 👍
The spanner just means it's overdue for a service but you can turn that off yourself if I recall correctly by holding down the button next to it on the dash for 10 seconds while turning key to first place on ignition (it tells you exactly in the owners manual). Not sure about the warning...
