hehe... at least you are fortunate to be able to take it off the road. Mines due a service, disk and pads replacing, a new exhaust and a remap. However, I'm struggling to fit the work in without losing the car for an excessive time.

Simon, I think you should do an estimate for the works to be carried out, a bit like they did for the olympics and see how close you are in April next year. LOL....sorry mate, if your shoulders go down a bit half way through give one of us a call so we can take you for a spin so you can be reminded why the hell you started your mission

Good luck

Sounds like a lot of work mate, if you are going to all that trouble you might as well do everything you possibly can whilst you have easy access, make sure you get a good space heater as it going to be a long cold winter
