Incorrect, sorry.

Yes it would, even though it's not a mandatory mirror.

Which bits are Series apart from the numbers plate?

Sounds like you're best off keeping it

No insults taken here at all, there's always something for us to learn and it's often the most basic things that are missed out. I do have access to good diagnostics at work, but I'm looking at the Alive Tuning interface that also doubles as a quick code reader.

Thanks for the tips Stu. I've been turning spanners in the Royal Marines for a few years now, so should I know a thing or two. I'll get it up on the ramp when I'm back in the UK and take it from there. It was my old man's, so although I don't know the vehicle that well I know its recently been...
