Well as of 1500 hrs today the update for my 1.5 TSI Karoq SE L was installed by my dealer in respect of the 1st and 2nd gear issues. I have driven a home journey of 5.8 miles all of which were in heavy traffic with a journey average mph of 7.2 mph. (Yes I crawled most of the way) Obviously this is a very early and not a very good test of the full scenario but it was a good test of the kangaroo hiding under the bonnet. Do you know he must have escaped because he never showed himself! So, so far so good! I will report further on my experiences in a couple of weeks.

well, finally got myself a new mx5.... looked really good, turns out it was rotten ... I had a choice, either loose the £1800 i spent on it, or spend a shed loads more, getting it fixed and saving it.... I refused to be beaten, it needed a lot of welding, including a chassis leg! :O and a wiper mech, and some work on the lights.... it took a LOT of effort to find someone willing to take on the work, and even he said, if this was an old for ka or something , Id tell you to throw it away ... only because this will go up in value am I willing to do it...... so , all in £2500 ...... I then looked on the web for genuinley rust free v-specials in unmodded factory condition with all the right parts like mine, and was amazed to find them at about £4k ! :O happily this will only go up in value now... not many proper v-specials left... everything works now, including the VLSD, windows etc etc...
