Not to have a go at DMC Houston (HONESTLY!), but hasn't anyone worked out if there's an OEM version still available over here? Only last week Paul Salsbury walked into Halfords and came out £12 poorer but with a new washer bottle pump available off-the-shelf. James Grant was telling us at eurofest that the indicator stalk is almost identical to one found in a Mini, though a different length. I'm SURE someone told me some time ago that the window switch is identical to the ones still in use in the Renault Clio. I completely forgot to look at my mate's at work but will do on Monday. Whatever I balk at the prospect of paying that for a switch - Chris Nicholson made his himself from stainless (painted them though!) and I reckon it'd be not too expensive to get some machined up from scratch anyway. I'll probably be eating my words none too soon when my D arrives and I start going over it!!! BTW Ian Titley told us at eurofest that the door seals on the D are the same as the boot seals on a Ford Mondeo hatch... anyone confirm? Martin VIN# 1458 ( - arrives October 19th - WOOPEE!)
