Poweron problems using PIC and automotive application

Ok,

So I have had a redesign, and utilised a proper IC for powerup RESET triggering on the MCLR line.

Also, I have added some more stuff to the power supply.

I have a  question:
When programming, MCLR is driven to 13v, will this effect the monitor IC? Should I have a diode in there, or a current limiting resistor? Its a microchip part (MCP100) and in their application doc it just links up as shown straight to the MCLR line... are they allowing for programming?

SeanB:
Just add a pin header and a shorting link across it, or a wire jumper that can be cut and resoldered if you have to reflash. Once the firmware is working the jumper can be the link in production.

Good idea, that removes all of my concerns, I think :)
Thanks
