New pads and fluid at the weekend, utilised my pressure bleeder in a different way, filling the reservoir directly and then pressurising it with the bleeder rather than having the bleeder feed in fluid, apparently with these "home" bleeders they can actually cause microbubbles in the fluid if pumping it directly.
Either way, it worked and the pedal is much firmer and more positive feeling, and the new pads have significantly more bite than previous.

Had my BCS powervalve exhaust fitted at a local garage yesterday. However when I got home I realised they were way too 'saggy' for my liking! After a bit of fettling underneath the car I managed to get the tips far more flush with the bumper and I'm pretty pleased with the result.

When I removed the old knob from a previous E85, I stood on the seat squabs, used two hands and heaved.
No horror stories to report
