Ah, but that's self inflicted hassle.
Absolutely no point in hiding stuff behind a sofa if it's in the middle of the room.
Stands to reason, as soon as you tell her the hoovering needs doing, she's going to find it!

Fitting an addittional USB socket is useful, I put them in my Z3 and Z4, both incorporate a volt meter display so the battery power can be monitored at all times. Various sockets to choose from on ebay, mostly from China as usual.
Power to Cig Lighter tapped to connect with a suitabe negative point connected.

Collected my alloys from Tillings - Top quality work as always. Went for something a bit different...dark copper, hope they suit the car!!

Looks ace,

Took the ///MR out on Dartmoor today and then a rinse and dry before tucking her again once more.

What a day!!

Did the vanos today in probably the hottest day of the year. Can’t say it was night and day different but it did feel better.

On with the bushings!!

It does Wade well, should have figured you may need more detail..

Drove to a harbour, got out of the Volvo, locked it, walked to the yacht, climbed aboard, buggered off out to sea.

No worries

I’ve got Aspergers, so sometimes I read things the wrong way.

So apologies if I came across in a sarcastic manner.

If my experience is anything to go by, you will start to notice the engine getting smoother over the next 100-150 miles.
The ECU has to basically forget what it was doing before and adapt to a whole new set of feedback.
OK, so that is not the fanciest explanation, but for an engines/airframes trained techie, it's as close as I come to the ethereal world of software and electrickery.
