Tomorrow Doing cambelt, water pump, remove sump and clean, new oil and filter and hopefully fitting turbo back 3" system plus badger5 tip etc. possibly a bit much for one day but we will see.

Make sure you have a ball ended allen key/ heavily undercut extension and socket as the 4 bolts partially obscured by the bell housing will be a nightmare

Well, managed to get cambelt and water pump done, oil and filter plus removal of sump, clean out pickup etc which turned out to be remarkably clean. Also replaced exhaust with full turbo back Blue Flame system with sports cat. Exhaust has made a good difference, all in all a good days work

Nothing too exciting - replaced fuel filler cap, replaced dodgy esp button, fitted new LED courtesy lights in the front, fixed a rear courtesy light and replaced rear courtesy lights with LEDs.

Number plate festoons next :)

Fitted my 3/4 front number plate. Not sure if I like it lol. Also took delivery of service kit for my dv and a cleaning kit for air filter. New boost gauge came yesterday so got stuff to be getting on with over xmas.

Full suspension overhaul with powerflex rear bump stops and FK AKX dampers all round. Hell of a difference over the standard shocks & lowering springs. Has tightened everything up, feels like it handles better and sits nice on the drop :) will need to wait a little while for it to settle though! Off to get some new front tyres tonight then

Another thing checked off the list

Where did you get the replacement ESP button from? Mine doesn't click now (after messing with it) so I need to do that sorted. Incidentally, so I'm using this thread correctly, I picked mine up from the garage today with a fresh MOT, new rear door lock module and... ...oh yeah, a brand new turbo the wrong side of Christmas!!
