I'll give Woo's suggestion a try before I start taking things apart. Now all I have to do is find some switch cleaner :) Butdon't use penertating oil, like WD40 or such, as this will just form a film over the rheostat slide and coil.

B-Series Engines, eh?

Not that I know of. I hunted 2-door blue carpets last year and only found full sets. New ones are never a perfect colour match anyway so may look odd if you keep the originals in the rear.

Yes, but is the metal case of the CD player touching the metal of your dash/shell/etc... If so your car may not be negative earthed and your's just shorting the whole car battry through your CD players case.

In the winter I used to block off about 3/4 of my radiator with tin-foil wrapped round the grille, but I had the standard thermostat fitted.

I'm 6" and there's loads of room for me in my 2-door, even when I was stripping m 4-door, that was fine. Have you moved the seat back? That'll give you more room.
