Gavin notes "I gave the car a good clean and in the process found "Made in 
Taiwan" on the mirrors!!!!  ?|"

Hoo Haaa Gavin - aint it a ball?  Getting used to the clink clink when 
shifting?  Man, I love that sound.

So the mirrors had Taiwan on them eh?  Wait till you take a close look at 
your tool kit - India.

In 1999 when we were at the factory I asked one of the people there why they 
had put cheap tools made in India with chrome peeling from the screw driver 
in the earlier cars - his reply was - well, back then we were a small 
company and couldn't concern ourselves with luxury as we do now - besides, 
you aren't supposed to do any work on the car yourself - take it to an 
authorized dealer.  heh heh

PS - you may want to check out the accelerator pedal box for lubrication. 
Ours was so stiff it took two feet - turns out the original grease had gone 
pink and was hard as a brick.  I bet the same problem happens to the window 
winders - But NEVER take one of those apart unless you absolutely need to - 
that picture hanging wire goes everywhere.  Just a few shots of motorcycle 
chain lube does the trick
