I kind of like knowing that if the column gets moved, I can return it to the exact position I like, because I'm anal like that :lol:

If none of the four positions suit you though you're kind of drokked :lol:

I'm the opposite. I happily cut off my wing mirror adjusters the other day, so I could blank them off as I never need to adjust them again :lol:

I asked as in Lings schematics it shows the aerial switch on the right of the wheel and the rear fog on the left. I thought there's a chance neither worked and it could be they needed swapping over. Worth looking on the left of the wheel for the rear fog light wiring then.
