I have similar thing it was bell's palsy strange thing is it's quite rear to get it, and I had it 3 times, my eye sometime weeps like I am crying, it mostly clears up with steroids (but they make you a little crazy)

Yeah, they mentioned that but it's normally unilateral, my issue is bi lateral which is what's confusing them.
Most nervous conditions affect one side but mine is very specific, very localised and very even across my head.
Hoping to see a specialist today.

Not sure yet. Had a stiff neck for months.
Couple of weeks ago my scalp got sore on one side then moved progressively to the other side just above and behind my eye.
Day I picked up the range rover I was struggling to keep my eyes open but put it down to tiredness.
Yesterday literally had to hold my top eyelids up to see.
Think it's some nerve problem but nothing shown on ct scan or xrays this afternoon.
Waiting to be assessed by doctor now so we shall see.

Best of luck mate.
I've had a meningioma, nothing like your symptoms but anything to do with the head is worrying, so I feel for you.
(Mine showed up on an MRI.)

Finally got around to changing out the 160k miles old shock absorbers..
A noticeable difference would be an understatement.

They are a bit stiffer than original spec but better handling to an extent. The only down side is they not a plush and can shake the cabin a bit.

Drove wife into town for an appointment. Made use of wade height to get into the bit of the multi story reserved for high vehicles on the ground floor.

Definitely smoother than what came off though

car does feel less ‘rolly’ around some of the twistier bends on the run into work this morning.

Top bolts for the rear shock were full of crap on mine to the point I needed to use a 19mm socket to remove. Front top bolts weren’t the easiest to squeeze a socket into either..

Also make sure the engine is cold. I’ve never sweat so much with my head in the hot engine bay..

Thanks for all your help, but I think I have it sorted now, a local garage who specialise in VW Is going to do it for me for just £90 and I bought the part from Amazon for £20, so I think it's worth it for someone else to do It for me at that price, the thing is it's got over 100,000 miles on it, so is it worth the hassle of me doing it? If it was say £300 then yes I think I would have had to DIY it, thanks again for the help

Nice. I have to use crawl mode on mine to get under the height bar on the local Waitrose!

Spoke to MOT man about dpf concerns.
He said as soon as it goes near the emissions machine it will know if the dpf is working or not

Is that because the smell of Chinese chips will be obvious?
