Could anyone help with two things -

1) Where is the relay for the passenger front window?

2) Is it possible to fit a cycle carrier on a late 1998 model?, we nearly set off with a Euromat type on the back, but realised just in time that the hooks were on rubber seals rather than metal of hatchback.

Would be glad of any clues

Underneath cover just below steering column,not certain which one it is though.

I think you will find they are like that due to scratching of paint without the rubbers in place?

On the subject of cycle carriers, no it's not possible to fit the carrier that sits on the hatchback & is hung from the top edge of the hatchback by metal hooks because the top edge is a soft rubber.
There are 2 alternatives:
a) If you have a towbar, buy a "Pendle" type cycle rack that bolts onto the towbar.
b) If you don't have a towbar, buy a set of roofbars, I would recommend Thule Rapid fit system, readily available on Ebay and cycle carriers of the type that bolt onto roofbars and hold the cycle upright, again available from Ebay.
