Maybe help with 6 speed conversion = discount on 5 speed
Umm, I think the ML5T is right & back for reverse, while the ML5C is left and forward. Pff, I was only driving it t'other day
I suspect the codes on the actual box will be meaningless anyway. Well, meaningless to the likes of us.

K-Mart sucks
I just write mine down rather a lot

I spent 21 years working for BT (well, when I say working, I mean doing as little as possible...), I can stil remember all the numbers for all the offices I worked out of, some of the exchanges, all sorts, but now I find I can't remember numbers at all. Oh, and these days I get to ignore the 'phone if it's ringing
