Rear Reflector: Absolutely. I've been wondering about trying to get an earlier body coloured panel. Somehow I can't imagine that in the original designer's concept sketch! It says "Cortina Crusader" or early Audi 90 to me, -or last model Cavalier (aghh!) Aircon: That's probably fine, beacause you're in control. Its Climate Control which is a pain. M25/London traffic and Clutch: Well I blame myself for not buying an automatic. Servicing: I get mine serviced by my trusted mechanic (in Deptford, SE8) - last one GBP135 so can't complain , but parts I don't know about.
