As previously mentioned, I put mine with the plate underneath, my jack fits nicely between the 4 nuts (which locate the jack head firmly) but I'm quite happy to accept that it should be the other way round.

Lets not kid ourselves, scrappage scheme aside, new cars have come a long way and are comfortable, reliable, economical, nice panel gaps and all the rest, not many would say a minor is better, just more of a diy car. I've spent a lot of time on my moggy, and I've not got a new car btw, I just accept...

Do these cars have to be crushed to comply with the scheme or can they be broken and sold for spares at some stage?, I would have thought they would need to disappear completely.

Yes the memory draws a small current to maintain the pre-tuned stations, well that's my understanding of it! I've always thought that it was too small to drain the battery, but maybe over a period of time. Perhaps the electrical types will have a view on this.

If I leave mine any length of time the battery goes flat, but if I disconnect for that period and then try to start, it's ok. I put it down to the memory on the radio. It's a bit of a hassle every time, but you can buy isolator switches that fit on the battery. It sounds like you use yours every day...
