Interesting lists.
I replaced a POD filter with an EF airbox. Tyres, brakepads (usual stuff for services etc) Front RHS Headlight glass (thanks to a rock) Exhaust with a Genie system (thanks to Mr Plod thinking I was too noisy) And interior stuff to get the black climate control etc and replace the ugly grey things. |

My harmonic balancer came apart. Extrenally balanced engines dont like when that happens :P
did a complete front end rebuild oh and the fuel pump played up for a while so I replaced it before it died completely. Mostly other stuff I've changed as preventative measures like rotor cap leads plugs thermostat. Need a new battery at the moment. Come to think of it i've had a pretty good run.
