Ooops!...
There's more..
rear door speakers (was both O/S but I swapped them round so that I had 2 working in the front.

Break pads (wear and tear)
Tyres..W&T
Rear window dropped once or twice for no obvious reason, ok now.
HD warning light flashed up a few times a couple of months ago, ok now.
Bulbs go more often in this car than any other type of car I've owned
New O/S rear indicator/side-light unit (careless wife)
New rear door and window..(careless me, where did that tree come from?)

expecting more faults soon...high pitched whine from rear diff area at 70mph.
Strong smell of diesel in exhaust fumes at cold start

Car has done over 110,000miles so I do expect things to go wrong.
