Fitted new control unit to sunroof - goodbye phantom ?  :-X

A wee taste of tar remover may help remove the sticky tape ?

Temporarily fitted new front arms. They're shit and the bushes don't line up >:( but as long as they last until I've renewed the old bushes then all well and good :-\ Car drives ok so set up last week wasn't a total waste of money.

Also disconnected the knock sensors again as having to restart the car at every set of lights was starting to irritate me no end ::)

I got to crank the VW to build oil pressure prior to start. Then the heavens opened  :( So I still haven't finished it.

Just did a early morning dash down to Cornwall. First time I've stretched the legs on the Barge and to say I'm well happy. Didn't miss a beat even though the weather was howling down and I filled back up when I got here and worked out I'd got 31MPG. That was by being sensible but still cruising at 75 MPH where possible. Even got through the Black Down Hills without issue.  :)
