Shhh dont tell anyone, you'll push the prices back up ;)

I also had the spec comparision with a 7 Series owning friend who went in a right huff about it, especially when after being soundly beaten in the spec stakes AND the price (at the time it was £1500 compared with £5000 plus) was left standing on the motorway on the way home }{

yer i do like the scorp for the spec i can't think of a car with same level of kit even for the 30k price new it was good value.

looked at a bmw 850i and it was good but not as loaded the scorpio

If your fingers are too big to fit in you can use a small thin screwdriver to flick the lever over the other way ... that is what I used to do as I had the same problem but practise first.. once you get the hang of it it really is easy.
