When I pick up my 400 sport it had a broken stitch on interior handle rail. Jaguar have agreed to change under warrant, (fault/damage goods). I am a little concern that it will require a lot of undoing dash, so tempted not to bother. Anyone got any idea how difficult this job will be?

If it's difficult, it's for Jaguar to sort out any issues the difficulties cause. That broken stitch would annoy me on such an expensive car, I think you might feel the same.

Definitely have it changed under warranty ... another owner on here had that piece changed to suit his cosmetic personalisation of his coupe and the dealer swapped with no issues ... plus it would make any potential resale difficult as anyone looking to but wold either walk or negotiate a big discount to replace the part themselves ...

I could fix that in 5 minute and you wouldn't see the difference. Cigarette lighter!
