>Hi All
Now that my O/D is working I'm using it a lot.

I have the switch to that up engages the O/d.  Is this
the correct way?

Alan, keep in mind that the light switches i England all operate
differently than the ones in the US.  That means moving the toggle down
will switch on the light. Consistant with that, the overdrive switches
usually engage the overdrive in the down position.  However, there are
different switches for left hadn and right hand drive cars and fitting a
right hand switch into a left hand drive car will reverse the way the
switch works which means it works like the light switches in the US - Up
for ON.

If this is what you prefer, great!  It's your car.  Personally, I wouldn't
change it regardless of what way it works, just so long as it works.

Just drive the car.  ;-)

Enjoy
