Took the rear wheel off to investigate a sticky brake caliper.
Put the wheel back on again. Beyond my skill level, as I suspected.

First drive out after 2 months tucked away for winter. Didnt miss a beat.
Who did you purchase it from?
BMW e85/e86 Double Din Facia with Air Vent | eBay UK
Double Din Facia – e85/e86. The Facia unit is designed to accommodate a standard Short Chassis Double Din Head Unit, and the design will accommodate a chassis depth of upto 110mm. ISO fixing points are essential, otherwise the head unit won’t mount into the facia unit.

This weekend on the 2.5, changed the rubber boot that connects to the throttle body, and also a pulley on the drive belt. Took it for a spin. Washed it today.
Washed the car after a Dartmoor drive today, weather was lovely. There is a little green bit under the rear window that is a sod to get rid of, I usually keep it at bay in the summer but this winter I can't get rid of it. So, out came the Miltons, not had much success in the past but gave it a try, scrubbed it with a little running water and the muck that came out, all over my nice clean car, so gave the whole roof a good scrub, again loads of muck. Honestly I wash the roof every time I wash the car, so waiting until it dries to see the result. This summer after a clean and dye with Renovo I will give it a seal as it might keep it cleaner. 
Did some electrical tweaking to add an ignition controled junction box, so now my cigarette lighter is ignition switched, I also swapped out the aux socket for two USB Cs (saw it here), and then ran a third USB C up through the vent for a removable Android Auto screen (just mounts via two cheap phone mounts)
Added a bluebus, and wired in an electric rear mirror (for dashcam and Reverse camera (to be done later)). Will need to neaten that up later as I'm waiting on someone to give me an adapted own mirror mount.

Expensive at the services, my wife wouldn't have liked that .
Thankfully we used a nice little cafe off King St.

Did Carpro Dlux ceramic treatment to exterior black plastics (door mirror mounts, front grill, scuttle panel), top of dashboard and top half of door cards - all darkened up nicely - and did leather feed to seats. Poorboys natural look dressing to all other interior surfaces, Honda Shin-Etsu silicone grease to all rubber seals.
