Glad to hear its all sorted. :)

I had a hunch it would be a simple mechanical adjustment and not some new fangled electronic service position. ;)

Amazing that someone went to the trouble of (probably) replacing the wiper motor but was completely incompetent at actually tightening the bolts and adjusting the crank position to get it parking properly. It's really not that hard. :roll:

Exactly! Once in there it was obvious, even to the mechanically challenged. Having said that, it would appear that simply doing up bolts was beyond P.O.

Are these "banned" subjects? :wink:
Much like the "what oil should I use" threads on The VW forums that I frequent.

Nah, ignore me. They're not banned - not that I know of...

There are no banned subjects other than politics and religion as they have the potential to cause virtual riots.
