The leather covered thingy called "auto-box gear level" me thinks.... how on earth does it go off?! It's rattling which is annoying but not it's putting up a fight with me by not letting go!

Surely it must be simple but I'm probably losing it... help!

The Gaiter or the Knob ?

Both require the Knob removing. 2 small screws at the base of the knob facing the centre console. /yes

Oh yes.. Nearly forgot.. The button itself needs to be removed. It has 2 small clips inside, 1 eachshide. A very thin flat scewdiver eitherside to pust them inwards and then pull up to remove. Theres a small spring underneath that and then a plastic insert that screws on to the selector rod.

Auto gear selector leaver removal
1. Prise off the button on top. From the side of the selector with a small flat blade screw driver.
2. Undo the big nut under the button you have just removed.
3. Select leaver should slide up and off.

That is about it.

Gently lever off plastic button on top, down inside there is a nut.

Thanks a lot guys! While I was a bit frustrated with the gear lever I switched my attention to changing the stepper motor as that's seemed much simpler (and currently is out and swapped) :)
