I was assuming the control was the same as the B5 - turn one way to slide, the other to tilt. I'm sure my 99 was like that, but I may be mistaken. Never even occurred to me to push it.

I'll get my coat...

Yeah, cos then it would be really embarassing!

In my defence, I spend more time fixing mine than driving it!

Interesting that I thought it was the 'cheap' option but was actually a cost option.

I quite like the fact I can get extra light with this one vs my previous 8, but I loved the cleaner look of the roof with the metal sunroof.
