Only on the drivers side front window - which is the reason why only the drivers side front window has one touch up.

One simple "didn't know" - if you open the glove compartment door and partially release the back catches that prevent it falling completely forward (by squeezing them inwards if I remember correctly) you get a second position of the stops which allows the door to lay flat so you can put your cup on it and of course a bigger gap to put things in the compartment.

Also some models - put the key in the drivers door lock and hold it to the open position and all the windows wind down. Hold it the other way and they wind up!

got a 2001 2.5 connie, with lots on board etc - but global closing on key not working - how easy is it to get it done, if indeed its possible?

If you are referring to lazy lock, yes it's a T4 dealer option

Well i didn't know that my ZT in Celestial Supertallic was as rare as it is, as i understand theres less that 10 alive, and because of this i will not let the wife drive her (unless its back from the pub after a few beers).

I also have a Celestial blue supertalic MGZT-T 190 + , I do not think they are that rare but if they are who hase the other 8 ???
