Alfetta Power Mirror Switch



Does any one have a spare power mirror switch that will fit the centre
console in a 1984 Alfetta sedan GCL?  After much confusion in trying to
work out adjust my mirrors, it turns out they are power and the hole in the
centre console is where the switch should (but is not) be.
	My car also has two fog light switches, is one for the rear lights (above
the reversing lights) or is one for left and one for right?  At present
only the front left is working.  
	For the last 12 months I've been driving my wife's GMHolden Commodore and
now that I've moved into my own car, I've noticed a big difference in the
way the two go around corners.  The Alfetta has more body roll than the
Commodore. I was under the impression that the whole idea of the transaxle
was to distribute weight and hence reduce role.  Is this correct and the
Alfetta has just been set up badly by the previous owner or is the more to
the transaxle than meets the untrained (uninitiated) eye?
	Last but not least, the car is going thru a tank of fuel every 275km.  Is
this normal, is it out of tune or would it be that someone has tried to get
a few extra HP from larger jets in the carbs.  I think the car is running
lean (bit of white smoke when accelerating and light coloured plugs).  As
my wife says "you wanted something to tinker with so start tinkering" :-)
