I have a V5 type R, it has the control for the adjustable diff down on the centre consul, it is a real pain in the *** to use when you are concentrating on the road and want to adjust it in a hurry. Has anyone thought about changing the rotary switch to a up/down (tiptronic) style one that could be moulded into the thumb grips on the sterring wheel? It cant be that difficult? Can it!!

DCCD is just a linear pot -- you couldn't do that with up/down buttons without some sort of logic. I guess you could wire up some sort of slider or rotary pot and put it on the steering column, but I can't see it would offer much of an advantage.

I was thinking of a couple of small resessed buttons, I think paddles under the steering wheel would be a bit OTT!! But a couple of small buttons would be good. Hopefully there will be a bit more input on this, such as the way the rotary switch works, and what could be used to replace it?
