Ok, there's not much left to get, today I had the child headrests to compliment the booster seats.

Arcadias as well, it's all good.

On mine you just twist the knob left or right below the clock to adjust the time

Reaffixed the rear o/s wind deflector.
Took it to Snowdonia.
Climbed a mountain (without the car).

I sorted out the poor performance of phase 1 headlights. A practical solution I feel.

Thank you! It's not unfortunately. I did have a look around but they seem to be pretty scarce.

I had some Wipac spot lights kicking about which was a good start. So I made some strong brackets which fit between the bonnet and bumper, made them look pretty and then bolted them to the metal bumper beam. Wiring wise, I took a direct feed from the battery to an inline fuse, which then goes to a relay I bolted onto the battery tray lip. I then ran the spot light wiring from the relay down the horn wiring sheath to come out behind the spot lights. And then the relay is powered by the main beam feed to the main headlights, so the spot lights come on automatically with main beam. No extra switches, minimal extra current draw on the existing electrics.

Only trouble is I get blinded by the reflection from road signs now.
