  means you never have to take your hands of the steering wheel to control it (I\'m sure you get the picture) and also the actual cd player doesn\'t have a display, it\'s on the top of the dash (like on vectra\'s).....Would stereos bought today be compatiable with these as I\'d like to keep these features

• Converting an automatic to manual ? 22 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  as all the electronics may be linked. I was thinking more of late 80's or early 90's cars, where the electronics, if at all, were fairly "basic". Would a conversion prove to be financially unfeasible ? Would you have to notify DVLA and pass a MOT type test etc? Chad.R P.S. Specifically, I

• Polished yet neglected - modern care (pathetic ;-) 7 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  - warmer days - damp mornings, salt still embedded in road surfaces after little or no rain. How is it that everyone knows brake pipes corrode, but it`s almost unheard of for someone to coat them with grease? Instead there seems to be a fatalistic waiting for the MOT failure.
