I did a quick demod of the guages and wiring and got the car inspected by the Germans. No issues and no wiser!
Then reinstalled the 'tuning' package and let Jannetty finish off the tunes...the 5th upload was the charm.
3rd gear runs were the norm...will give it a go in 4th and 5th after I check all the nuts and bolts from the transmission pull. Seems to run like before - quite happy at the overall status.
Put a few more miles on it and then look to take a day off to head to the Nurburgring...been open since March!
