Just back from 15 days away with the caravan, we 935 miles of trouble free motoring in our L322. Call me paranoid but it is the first time I have ever carried my lap top, and comms lead, but you never know.

If it's a Thor V8 then it's under the driver side exhaust manifold IIRR - a bit tricky to get to.

Piece of p*ss, switch on filter housing (left hand side as you look at the filter from the passenger wing). New switch tightened to 40 Nm, 30 Ft lbs.

leave the mirrors alone if you think you will break the tweeter housings . gently lever from the top and they will pop off.

Yeah, got em off. After reading elsewhere, I decided removing the glass was a bad idea so it's just all masked off nicely instead!

Then I peel of the tape and realise there's a few bits that haven't quite gone off yet.. and hey presto, thumb prints

Fixed the SRS Fault. Was the Number 2 bulb at the back of the instrument binicle.
Fitted TyrePal looks good well made and acurate. More big trips coming up so a bit more piece of mind.

Bleed the brakes so there's new fluid in calipers, helper was this: ONE MAN BRAKE AND CLUTCH BLEEDING KIT UNIVERSAL | eBay
