Fixed the non functioning sunroof... simply needed some manual persuasion and a dollop of grease, and started compiling a snag list ::)

So far:
Sunroof U/S. Now fixed.
Aircon U/S.
Self leveling U/S but shocks still connected.
Headlight leveling error message.
Engine emissions light U/S. Bulb blown ::)
Front suspension does very strange things when braking.
One keychip disagrees with the immobiliser.
Bodywork less than perfect, few dinks and scratches but nothing too major.
Both bumpers require paint, front needs a repair.
Front fog lights U/S.
Last serviced at 160k but no mention of cambelt.
Engine bay grubby but largely leak free.

On the plus side, there were only two codes... one for the EML and one for the immobiliser from not starting it with the spare key 8)

First job will be to get it on a ramp for its Mot and see exactly what is fitted :y But it can reasonably expect to be thoroughly polybushed fairly soon after...

As for the bumpers, nice try, but no cigar ;D

Sorted/fixed the ignition system with a brand new full ignition system (plugs leads and dispac) all OEM or as close to GM as I can get anyway.... massive improvement TBH

Just waiting on the hard vac pipe to arrive, then that can be fitted sometime next week before going to the caravan...
