It truly was after getting the steering wheel off my knees and a 160 remap from BigRuss I took the back roads to Blackpool and it really was an exceptional drive! I don't know how I ever managed before it

No! I did not know the speedo worked in reverse. Never looked at it 'cos looking in the mirrors at the time. However, will check this amazing (and unnecessary) feature.

Rear glass opening on the tourer (6mths before I realised);
Brake light compensates for failed rear light (12mths);
I've got an FBH and it works when it's 5c or below (12mths);
Rain sensor/automatic screen wipers (only a week, with it being Mancs);
There's something called a plenum and it's got water in (only 2 wks thanks to this forum);
Glove box extends - as above (12mths);

The list is almost endless.

Only on the facelift, unfortunately, by holding the opening button down for about 3 seconds.
