The engine is fixed
so I thought I would start in on the list. Got it on the ramp to look at the gear box oil leak; The gear box isnt leaking, in fact its fine!

So where is the oil coming from...? It looks like its diesel actually so maybe one of those new injectors isnt seated right? Ill investigate.

I took the front bumper off and discovered one of the parking sensor wires had been crushed behind the bumper moulding and was chafed through so it rubbed on the metalwork and caused the wild beeping. Almost fixed but not quite, need to take it off and do it again.

While I was there I fould both fog light plugs were smashed, anyone know where to get a couple of replacements?

But, when I had it on the ramp i discovered both front outer CV gaiters were perished and leaking so that has to be fixed, soon.

Also, when I had the bumper off i found the intercooler had a oily leak bottom left. Ill defer to the wisdom of my peers but im guessing the best thing to do is fit a new [salvaged] one?

Otehrwise i have just been driving it and its great!
