OBD socket...
Don't you just love main dealers... I only noticed this damage when I opened the bonnet / hood to attach a battery tender, and found the entire panel loose and the end of the OBD connector broken off. And isn't it meant to have a cover??


Broken OBD port...

No, there is no cover. Yours has a different orientation than mine; must be a RHD thing.

The connector is still broken although it appears that it won’t cause any issues.

True, but if it was me I would still want it replaced.

Just checked to see if I had a cover, no cover but trim also loose , when i pushed it home I can here a click but its not staying up , I suspect Its the result of a mechanic pulling out the plug on a reader and the whatever kind of clip holding the trim not being strong enough.
