Well done! Glad I have no more leaks, I guess I am lucky with 2 good sunroofs. Do you have Will's link for me Russ (No I have no leaks and trust me it does rain sometimes where I live :) )

Nearly as boring as watching grass grow Russ!

Or watching a loaf baking in the oven..

Good work on the sunroof!

Well on the way home from CXM it was close to awful! I adjusted the kickdown cable again and it is much much better. It seems my cable likes to be adjusted to a specific place on the threaded adjuster. So the ferrule, meant to be 1-2 mm from the threaded screw adjuster, on mine wants to be about a cm away. All very odd. And typically XM. But yeah...essentially it works..which is helpful!
I am going to change my driving style and drive it manually changing third to forth and changing down. It just seems to prefer it that way.

I haven't been driving it much, as it have been away in Amsterdam and with the leaky sunroof, I have been drying it out. So not much to report.
