Got the rear wheels pulled, dismounted inner tires, swapped out schraeders for longer ones, balance & remount tires. Now I can check the inner tire pressure in a mere moment instead of 20 minutes of faffery.

Didn't fancy fitting a TPMS while you were in there?

They're a legal requirement on new cars over here. S'great really, I can just say "Guten tag Frau auto, what are the tyre pressures?" and she tells me.

If it fails you just go back to checking manually, it's not like they let your tyres down.

Bosch make literally millions of the things, they're cheap and reliable.

New Hella 450 spots fitted, work of a moment. Still need to wire them up & adjust. Ordering the yellow fogs is next.

Old lights sold & shipped off today. Was going to throw them away, but he offered a pittance & I accepted.

All four of the new blinders installed, just need to hook up the harness.
