Finally I got round to having replaced the front ARB links, front sway bar bushes, rear sway bar bushes, belts, new EPB module fitted (well that was costly at 720 for a genuine LR unit) front and rear rotors and pads (brembos all around), engine oil, oil filter, air filter, one rear parking sensor so finally it works!! and cross fitted the tyres after about 9k miles.
Car feels a lot more solid after especically new bushes, very very happy!
Oh also, T piece and the AC condenser were done about 4 months ago. Sooo i
Indeed - it’s like a new car once you do the bushes

That's interesting Kajtzu, so is the fuel 95 ron or 95 ron mixed with ethanol which probably ups the ron rating a bit maybe to 97ish? Did you not change your fuel lines or anything to cope with the ethanol or is it too low an inclusion to affect them?

Everything on the vehicle is “stock”. It’s lab tested to be 95 RON with when including the ethanol mixed in.
There’s a web site that answers to a bunch of questions in engrish for you.

Thanks - so it seems no advantage to put 98 RON in, this is good news (more money to spend on accessories!)
Thanks all

That's going to hit the wallet.
Can I ask why you need a new throttle peddle?

Changing any arms and bushes, when they’re busted, will make the vehicle like new. I remember when I 1 1/2 years ago replaced the ARB bushes.... no clunking.

Not sure if you read my post xmas trip.
If you have any air leaks fix them before you go. I found out the hard way. On the way to poland
