i'm in leicester

Ok, just to make sure I wouldn't be getting into anything that my car just won't do I better check.
My car has always had manual windows, so it has absolutely nothing (switches etc.) needed to run them. Would you be able to get everything (the windows, switches, any magical gismos that may be needed ...

I meant where on the car is the sensor for the temp gauge. I know the scrapper has one but don't know where on the car to look for it.
Thanks for the rest of the advice

Don't you just hate people who mount the kerb to park?

Driving home from work on the A1M stretch between Alconbury and Peterborough in all the snow on Tuesday night I pull into the middle lane to overtake a gritting lorry.

I may be purchasing a 340 DL '88 manual (1.4) :) for £50, whats the economy like with these 4-gear models?

I assume it can't be worse than my Vario doing 4400 at 70mph!?

Cheers, Si
I do about 120 miles a day on the A6 and the A14 at about 70 and I get about 300 miles out of a tank. If I drive at ...
