Hello all.
Just a few quick fire questions for the stuff I don't know:

1, What does the sport button do? (manual transmission)
2, The roof doesn't latch down on it's own, it needs to be pushed down the last inch to engage the down lock mechanism. Is this related to problem 2 or do I need to adjust or lubricate something ?


That's it for now

Sport button just 'sharpens' the throttle response. Makes it feel like it's quicker (but it isn't).
Check you have sufficient hydraulic fluid in the pump reservoir for the roof. Has you motor/ pump been relocated to the boot?

In an Auto the Sport button holds the revs a little higher before the up-change, do the revs not go a little higher/quicker in a manual due to mapping?

Well sort of I suppose. It sharpens the throttle response, so for a given throttle push it increases the intake of everything over standard. Don't think there is any different fuel 'map' as such, they are quite basic.
On more modern cars with additional 'tweakiness' obviously it does a lot more, like firm up adaptive dampers, stiffens steering, etc
