• So Munich Legends identified the following as suggestions for attention at next service interval (6000 miles away):

    1. Remove wheel spacers, supply and fit locking wheel nuts
    2. Passenger side suspension bump stop
    3. Passenger side upper control arm
    4. Alignment check
    5. Driver side headlight bulb cover (cover clip broken)
    6. Passenger side headlight (cover clip retainer broken)
    7. Rear diff seals (current ones sweating slightly, not urgent)
    8. New bonnet struts (current ones a bit slow to open but holding open just fine)

    I also asked them to remove the towbar.

    The estimate..... Just shy of £1400 for parts and labour!

    I have the original wheel bolts, including locking ones in the boot. I'll remove the spacers myself! Rear wheel doesn't even need to come out to change the bumpstop, and assuming they're not seized the control arm is one bolt on the hub one on the subframe. The parts are £75, I'll prob to both sides to satisfy my ocd. Bonnet struts are £15 each.

    I thought my days of diy mechanicing were over but going to save myself some cash and do the suspension bits myself, and nip to the local kwik fit for an alignment.

    Headlights, drivers side i can get a new cover, but passenger side i might need to try a cable tie. There are 3 other retaining clips on the cover but it appears to be letting a bit of moisture in. New xenon headlight is nearly 300 + vat.

    Diff seals can wait til they become a bigger problem. I'd really like a lsd at some point anyway. Towbar can stay for the time being.
