Yes, they're New England leather which is better quality than the standard Oregon leather. I've got Imola seats in my car. :D

Looking great on those wheels Stuart. :thumbsup:

But it does seem to be sitting quite high on the rear.

Just to prove that it’s never straight sailing…

I’ve managed to cross thread one of the ports on the ABS dtc module!!

So next step is get that back out and rethreaded (best case) or replaced (worst case)

I still have the electrical issues to sort which are I think the kbus issue:

Roof- unlatches ok but wipers operate when roof motor kicks in
Wipers won’t work off stalk but screen wash does.
When wiper motor unplugged nothing works that have existing errors
sat nav screen doesn’t work
Windows move slightly (roof drop) when drivers heated seat triggered
Drivers motion not working
Intermittent ign switch
Interior lights dim when these issues happen

That`s quite a list and we all know electrics are the devils work. I`m sure I have seen it mentioned quite a few times that all you need to do is charge the battery and all the faults will magically fix themselves :)

I have a facelift with the complete interior removed. The wiring loom is still there. It just lays where is was unplugged. Do you want some photos of it?

Neither roof works, so I guess the competition is wide open :lol:
