Well, I still haven't done the spark plugs. First MOT tomorrow and am nervous! One headlight is a little reluctant to start and the handbrake is a bit weak, but we'll see. The same place does alignment so I'm getting that done too. |

I have an MOT, and the 4 wheel alignment has definitely made tight corners ore comfortable. Can't wait to get it above, er, 60 or so and see if the slight shimmy has gone.

The slightly off steering wheel that you got used to is now straight, now you have to get used to that! The driving pleasure is enhanced, hope the shimmy has gone. |

Just a follow up... the wheel was still slightly off, and I'd had a slow tyre leak diagnosed as a leak at the rim. But, after the alignment I started getting a 'clonk" on some uneven tarmac. Took it back yesterday, diagnosed a knackered track rod end and noticed that they'd actually fixed the leak on a wheel that didn't have a leak!

No bong today. Well, key battery low, but it's kind of new. However, after having a kangarooing fit yesterday while running on petrol (OK on LPG) it wouldn't start this morning. No codes.

Confirmed as the in-tank pump. I don't have the time to apply the lower cost fix of an X5 pump, so will just have to swallow the cost. BRC system has ho way to force an LPG start that I can see. |

Today's fun. I'd noticed that the brake dust shield on the nearside was a bit rattly when I changed the strut. So today I popped the wheel off, removed the caliper, removed the disk and bolted the shield back on with some penny washers. Very easy job, helped by the recent disc/pad change so all bolts were easy to remove!

In the slightly warmer weather a few weeks ago I noticed the air con wasn't particularly cold. My local garage does a £21 regas through Groupon for sub-3L cars, so I called them and agreed that price for my 4.4. An hour later and I have ice cold a/c again!

Hi, sorry I didn't reply. The fuel pump was supplied by the specialist, probably a factory LR one as they use genuine parts.
