Best wishes from Derbyshire too mate

Mine has now been parked up for nearly 5 weeks so went out and started it this morning to keep everything running while I wait on the brakes being repaired. She started first time but took a bit longer than normal to fire up (kind of expected that) but when she did start the smell of diesel fumes was horrendous. I'm just putting this down to it sitting for so long and it being 2C outside but is there anything else it could be? Clogged up EGR maybe?

Best of luck with the operation, buddy!

What i did today, i got my passenger footwell light to work independently. Each front door has its own light and i am well chuffed.

Calipers arrived today as did black headlamps. Going to fit them tonight then mechanic coming tomorrow to sort brakes for me. Spring should be fixed next week and we are ready for many more miles :-)

Changed the heater control panel so I now have the switches for heated seats

Nice and toasty warm yay!

Of course I've now completely forgotten where all the climate sensors go, and suspect I'll have to disassemble a lot of stuff to get them in, so haven't touched that bit for now.....

Went for a blast from Wembley up to St. Neots and back, went in a car wash, didn't turn off the ignition and snapped my ariel 😕😕😕

Can i just say "You dick"
Sorry had to!
It's a learning curve that many of us have been down, me included. Don't beat yourself up over it. Plus if you lucky somebody might have one spare!

Ordered a 3" downpipe and got a Ferrita 200 cell race cat on the way to go nicely with the already fitted JT cat back system

Hopefully next weekend the bigger intercooler will go in, along with the rest of the 3" exhaust stuff.

Been looking at water/methanol injection systems to keep the IAT's down with a bigger turbo.

Heading down that slippery slope now! Not too much left to get, mainly just the turbo now.
