    Drove to work, and the SES I had automagically went away. I still wonder what it was for... :X

    Finally fixed my wonky roof issues and I have a fully functioning convertible top again! (it stopped working at the end of June)

    I replaced the driver's side sunroof cable due to a bad crimp but after that repair, the sunroof worked but the second stage wouldn't retract. Yesterday I finally had good enough weather to take a look and a little "percussive maintenance" popped the main bow (sunroof part) back into alignment with the hall sensors and the top decided to retract fully again!

    Now I can't wait to finish work at 5 so I can finally do some open motoring on the way home!

    Found the annoying squeak that was emanating from somewhere I couldn't see when driving... a seatbelt was caught behind a rear seat from when I had them flipped down.

    Simple, but a satisfying fix nonetheless. :)

    Nothing to report. My car was perfect again today, but it is a justa of course, so what else would I expect? :Thumbsup:

    Drove in to work.... windows down, no tools in front of me :Thumbsup:

    For anyone interested:
    The hubby got his car back from the bodyshop yesterday- they did NOT do a good paint job :frown2:
    He's kinda fed up with the car now since this was the second time it had been rear-ended.
    So if he doesn't get whooped back up about the car, there may be another English car in our garage in the near future :devil:

    After the above I gave my 13 year old niece and 11 year old nephew rides in the MINI. They told their friends and next I know there was a line of kids queued. I told them it was an E ticket ride.
