    I always thought this bit "sunroof, fully open, full close, fully tilt and fully close again", should actually be "sunroof, fully open, full close, fully tilt and hold until sunroof set message".

    Always undo the filler plug first is good practice. Don’t wanna drop it just to find out filler won’t come out for some reason.

    They appear to be quite thick castings. Could you simply smooth down the pitting & then re-chrome ? But how much is chrome plating ? Black or chrome replacements are around £200 inc VAT.

    Stop-start traffic & the trailer probably lowered it quite a bit. I generally get 15-16 around the local area, but last year doing regular runs from Langley to Ferndown was definitely averaging 19-20 assuming no holdups on the M25-M3-M27.

    I suspect the "disconnect battery and short ECU 12V & ground together" method is completely irrelavent on modern cars. It generally comes from old pre-OBD ECU with volatile memory. But it gives you something to do while waiting for recovery !!

    Did you follow the RAVE fill procedure ? If not, then you will almost certainly have an airlock. Are you getting flow through the small pipe from the radiator to the coolant tank ? Also did you clear it before starting the fill ? As others...

    As Kermit says, they are separate issues. You have confirmed the replacement accumulator has fixed the pump running every brake press. Brake lights on the back of the car are most likely the pedal switch - reset the adjustment, or replace it...

    If the header tank cap is tight with no leaks, I would say until you release the pressure. more likely is a slow depressurise through the pump (unless it has a suitable valve ?)

    Did you chamfer / bevel the end of the bush plastic outer ? If not it's difficult / impossible to even get it started. Ring compressor is a good idea, but with jubilee clamps you can remove them one at a time as the bush goes in.
