Default Something new every day.

I was playing with the door handle lock/unlock listening to the various clicks and clunks.
The car gives you 5 lock/unlock attempts with the ignition off then disables the feature !

Were you just trying to make trouble or was something wrong?

I was fascinated by the number of clicks and whirrs involved and trying to work out what was happening.
Thought I'd broken it but turning the ignition on re-initialises the sequence.
Presumably there to stop naughty kids (and me) running the battery down.

Kind of like poking a Jaguar with a stick, can be risky.

Steve,

Your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to discover how many back to back repetition soft top open and close sequences it takes to invoke the green shower.

Is that with the pressure control valve, the voltage reduction thingamajig or original factory issue? (apologies to Monty Python, "What do you mean an African or a European swallow?)
