It's a great bit of kit, well worth the money.
Do you have the time clock on the speedo if not it can switch that on to.

Just finished checking my rear suspension bushes. After replacing the drivers side rear a few weeks back I had forgotten to check the hub was the correct distance away from the top of the wheel arch and this had resulted in the bushs having a twist in them. After slackening them all off and levelling the vehicle correctly (485mm from centre of wheel hub to top of arch) the rubbers are no longer twisted and fingers crossed it will improve thier life span.

I could literally see the bushes intwist!
Could you prehaps point me in the direction of the best place to buy a IID tool?

I'll PM you where I got mine, I'm sure Gaz got his from Island or Paddock
It was last night, but close enough. Lol
Replaced the rear anti roll bar bushes. The knock was getting a bit loud. What a pain in the bum getting them back in though! Especially when you're getting a good face dusting of rust off the join in the exhaust.
In the past month I've also changed:
Discs and Pads all round
Front Prop Shaft
Front and Rear Wipers
Full Service (all filters and fluids)
Drop Links all round
Power Steering Pipes (B'Stard of a job)
New 800 CA Battery
Dash lights to sort next and whatever it needs to keep them off. Then I might be able to buy some luxury items like tyres, an HD bumper and a light bar. But I'm something else will take priority.

Changed oil and filters. Should have been simple but the last oil change was done at a National Tyres branch - special offer. The sump plug was ridiculously tight and in the end I had to get a blow torch and breaker bar to get it off. It was mangled a bit so got a new one and washer. The old one had no washer, so perhaps the fitter had used a lot of torque to compensate rather than source a washer!
The air and fuel fiters were really simple, except it then led to a problem with air suspension compressor.
The fuel filter had no sensor on the bottom and the britpart replacement seemed to have its own sedimenter but neither old nor new had a connector. Does the Britpart fuel filter have its own sedimenter?
