The other piece will be the light bar mounted through the A pillars.

Of course you are going to have to personally supervise this.....

Very much so…. I’m actually thinking of driving it down, disassemble the trim in the car park and then let them do the replacement before I reassemble.

Well like all things, it’s probably intermittent, but today through thrashing, pootling, and all other ways to coax a fault after the filter change, it was a good car. I can’t believe it was the filter so I presume it’ll fault again sometime soon.

Wouldn't consider a Bosch??
I've had a good run out of them.
Read somewhere they are a 'super' version of an Exide who apparently make most of the batteries these days?

First time mine did it, it behaved for 3 months.

Yeah I figured it’s a downward spiral

Not at nearly double the price of the other 2, Exide $249 with 42 months warranty, SCGolplus $209 with 36 months warranty.
Neither are AGM but that's not an issue on D3's.
