The battery was unplugged after a week on jack stands, apparently that was not soon enough to stop the battery from draining. Should be ready to attend to the last details tomorrow and get the adaption done.
Might start calling you lucky...

I thought you knew that German Engineer's were sadist?

All of my German car's are a pain in the *** to work on and often times break down more often than any of my other cars. Even I'm wise enough to keep a Lexus in the garage so I can get to work when I need too.

Oh yes! I know and understand. My Challenger has been serving as a daily driver for a while now, far longer than I'd like. The oil leak I discovered when I started it will have to wait for me to have the time and my new jack here to attend to, which should be Thursday. Hopefully, retorqing the oil cooler bolts does the trick, else it's a do over!
