Sounds a plan buddy  :drinking: Defo have them off you if you change.

Just getting basics done at the moment, front disc/pads next. Have DV to fit.

Then like to get cam belt and maybe chain done.

Hopefully next year the fun parts, Stage 2 and relevant hardware  :happy2:

A lot of it, looks a well made kit, all fitted into headunit etc:




Cleaned sticky pads residue off:






Rear wiper broke:



Ordered a new one up from TPS and fitted that night. Plus ordered new nut and cap too:








Missing the bottle opener:








Another few bits ordered up....




When in the garage other week to give once over we noticed the nearside CV gaiter had a little hole in it. Think when new ball joint was fitted a while ago they must have caught it. So ordered one up.






Off ready for new gaiter:
