Thanks! If only one day it would look as nice inside Laughing

I think these windows are a bit smaller in height than the SW type, which limits their maximum opening angle. There were a few times whe ...

Had exactly the same a fortnight ago. I decided to see if it settles after a while before undoing it again.

A while ago I forgot to connect the crank sensor after I replaced the clutch. It didn't throw fault codes, but I did get a negative crank speed IIRC.
