I've had a few electric motors where the shaft is just in a cheap bush thingy. Eventually they need lubricating. Worst I had was a central heating fan motor used to keep us awake at night. Oiling only brought short term relief so I tried molyslip type of grease and it did the trick. Now I always use it first. Electric drills, fan motors etc. etc.

Removed the rear seats and made a flat load area. Can't take credit for this, got the idea off this forum.

Retained a hinged access to my jack

Upgraded my stereo to a mp3 Sony which required new facia. January bundle package from Halfords for £155 fitted including stereo, facia and harness adapters etc. Also fitted new front and rear speakers.

Fitted new Witter tow bar, nice piece of kit.
Tinted my rear windows, bling.
Tested how to show pictures on forum, seems to work.

Where'd you get the clips from to hold the wheel-jack winder?... or whatever it's called

They are call "Tool Clips" and the ones I used are 6mm black plastic coated. Ebay was the only source I could find, my local hardware store did not go that small. Think I paid £4.99 inc postage for 5 clips, used 3 clips in the end.
