Front wheel bearing. ABS sensor came out fine but I broke the brake pad sensor.
Took me 15mins to remove one hub bolt. Luckily the other 3 came out considerably easier. 3/4 ratchet and pole extension made light work of the drive shaft nut.

Washed both inside and out with all my new cleaning bits SWMBO got me for Christmas!
Installed a new tonneau cover for the boot as the original was not with the car when I bought it!

^ for jacking gear don't bother with the std. scissor jack and go for a bottle jack instead - lots of threads about jacks on here Stolen - D4 Loire Blue
D4 Bali Blue
I was looking at a bottle jack as the one that came with the D2 was a pretty good jack. Anyone got any recommendations?Tony

Fitted a new Seat base foam and finally fitted the replacement heated pad for the knackered one that I have never got around to changing.
Dook it out for a run to remind myself what the seats felt like when new

Swapped seat bases round. Edge of drivers seat had a slight sag. Fairly easy to do including swapping passenger seat sensor.

Was going to do the same but the drivers seat on mine is different as it has a pocket in the front of the seat, however I found a guy who will remake the seat cover side panel and the top section where it wears, replace both parts, dye the leather to match and refit to the seat base for £50!
Seen some seats he has done on a BMW and was amazed how little he charges!
Will post pictures when its doneMust stop buying shiny toys....
