Idiot here has broken 2019 F-Type sim card slot

I've been meaning to prise mine out to see if I can fix a dodgy USB connection...
If you are comfortable getting inside the module then I may be able to help. The fault on my module was on the SIM card socket and that is a separate PCB from the one that carries the two USB slots. The two PCBs simply clip together with a multi-way connector so apart from some disassembly/reassembly there isn't much to do. As far as I know the USB ports were working. Yours for the cost of postage if it will help.

By way of an update, I finally got hold of a replacement module at the second attempt, via eBay for a mere £72 including shipping. The unit was out of a 2023 F-pace and is in immaculate condition. Plugged it in, added a SIM card and I am pleased to advise that everything is now hunky-dory. Thanks for all the helpful pointers along the way!

Great result, well done!
