Yes please
Will be in all day as trying to do the final stages so PM me with your number if you can make today

I had to take the oil cap off as I didn't have an extension bar so it was stopping me from getting any leaverage on the coilpack nuts

Point taken though (it was put back on when I started to do the rest though)

Well - didn't go to plan

Plugs changed
Air filter changed
Oil changed
Oil filter changed (what a b@st@rd)

Brake pads (half done)

Didn't check all the pads in the box as assumed they are good so fitted one side OK.
Started on the other - removed all the old pads then started to put the new ones in but hit a problem - see pic:



3 of the same so won't fit
So, had to put the old ones back in and put the car away, Not at home until Thursday so will try and get GSF to replace the wrong ones - not going to take the ones I have put in..........)

On Thursday will also change the fuel filter then put new tyres on the front and off on holiday to the French Alps

Just hope I can get it all done by then

Also respect to Limoncello - turned up today and reset the service indicator plus carried out a scan.

Not to bad (a few knowns such as the alarm not being right and one of the rear Potentiometer for the vent - which I had disconnected) no serious ones but will require a check when I come back.

GSF wouldn't replace just the wrong parts so had to take the new shoes out of the calipers.
Swapped and put them all in this morning.

Ready for the trip this weekend to the Alps
