Type 44 eyebrow dash slider switch

[Phil Payne]

First of all - 'appy festive season, whatever form it takes for you.

Secondly - I'm repeating the bouncy speedo repair because I didn't do
it well enough last time and the satellite navigation system keeps
coming up with 'Off Road' when I really need to be paying attention to
other things.

This time I've had a closer look at the slider switch and I think I've
come up with what the legend means:

RWUSEGRWUSEG
Diesel  Benzin

There are actually six positions:

RW Diesel
US Diesel
EG Diesel
RW Benzin
US Benzin
EG Benzin

I thing RW means 'Rest der Welt' - rest of the world, US is the USA,
and EG is 'Europaeische Gemeinschaft' - the German name for the EU.

Mine was set on 'RW Benzin'.  I think this is right because although
the UK _is_ an EU member, it's the only one still using miles instead
of kilometres.  The US uses miles too, but has a different gallon.  I
wonder if some US listers reporting grossly erroneous MPG figures have
got the switch on 'RW' instead of 'US'?
