Sorry, excellent work on the hood. Remind us what it wasn't doing again?

Control unit was broken/inop. So PO did a repair using about a mile of wiring and some manaul switches.

Which worked a bit, mostly.

Now it's mainly manual with just a single switch to pull hood down onto rear scuttle panel. Bit of a faff but all the extra wiring is coming out.

Shocker, isn't it....I'm guessing they had the laminator set up for flag plates though. Not fucking rocket science to get them right is it?
