After operating quiet a few times without a problem the sunroof is back to square one. Driving round Norfolk one day last week, parked up in Cromer and went to close the sunroof. Started closing fine, got to within an inch of closing and it decided to open again. Spent the next 10mins trying, even using the override option it would not close and just opened. I ended up turning the dial in stages with a pause at each stop, eventually got it closed.

Roof tilts up and down just fine, it opens without issue, its just closing thats proving to be an issue.

If the weather is fine at the weekend I'll brave opening it again, giving all the runners another clean, clean the seals and wax around the sunroof opening before applying the lithium grease again.

Moving on to the outstanding jobs, I'll get the first few sorted at the same whilst those in the second part are low priority to me still as the car drives fine.

Replace NSR wheel bearing as its whining, no play in bearing its just noisy.
Fix broken headlight washers, suspect split pipework
Get brakes looked at, it might be me but think the front brake discs maybe warped due to pulsating sensation with light braking.

Low priority:
Fix seized intake manifold flaps and linkages
Fix clicking MMI screen.

Also, swap lower centre front grill for an ACC one. Got the grill from Guy (daviesbike, thanks Guy), all cleaned up now and ready to fit. I just need to workout how to release the clips without removing the bumper. It looks doable with a couple of sets of mole grips through the slats. Hopefully then its just a case of running the basic settings on the ACC controller to force it to relearn. It currently reports misadjusted because it has been trying to peer through the wrong grill for who knows how long, hopefully the radar is ok and does not need calibrating. I found a guide which explains how to run the basic settings only on VAS, hopefully its also possible with VCDS. The misadjustment error cannot be cleared without forcing the basic settings.
