When pressed it should light up an orange vaugely window shaped light in the instrument pod... Top right corner if memory serves...

Yup. God knows what they were smoking when they decided to put it there!

Alfa Romeo sprung a suprise with the Alfasud when they put the heater fan switch on the right stalk, move it down a click for each speed

My sister's second car was a MK2 Cavalier, which she owned for a year before getting a 106 and passing the Cav on to me.
I'm sat in the driver's seat getting used to where all the controls are (why can't German car manufacturers figure out how to make rotating stalks?) and spotted a light bulb image on the face of the light knob (seriously? the car was made in the 1980's and the light switch is a rotating knob on the dash???), so I pulled the knob and turned on the interior light.
"How did you manage that?" said my sister, "I've always opened the door to get the light on"
I really really hope I'm adopted.

Audi, VW and BMW still use a rotating switch on the dash for lights, I don't find it a problem as they are very large and (unlike stalk switch's) illuminated when the ignition is turned on, BMW and Audi mostly have headlights on the right switch and fogs on the left to make it clearer.

Poxhall, well the less contact I have with that brand the better it makes me feel because they still couldn't make a car with decent suspension up to the last Vectra, I've not had the misfortune to be subject to an Integrate or whatever they call that visual abomination.

I believe even Merc's have the rotating light switch on the dash if memory serves, so must be a Germanic thing.
Personally I rather like not having to take my hands off the wheel to turn the lights on/off (especially when travelling along a winding country lane at night in the snow on the way to the observatory with a car full of astronomy students when the lights decide to go out! Bloody poxhalls)
