Suppose I should update the list;

So for the list of work, a brief drive home meant some issues surfaced, they are;

Throttle cable, lots of play (2 second job tomorrow lunch time) - Fixed, no issue at all, 2 seconds!
Wind noise at motorway speeds - Nearside front door (Check rubbers, fix/replace as needed) - Believed to be clogged rain channels, will clean, leaked into passenger footwell
Tyres perishing (Replace as required, but good tread for now on most) - Sorted
Alternator Whine (Possibly bearings, maybe something else needs further investigation) – Second hand unit fitted, noise gone!
Ruddy good clean (Including white vinegar to draw out smell of fags) – Done, not great but better than it was
Wheels! (Defo needing a refurb, maybe subtle colour change too) - Sorted, just need refitting
MOT (Runs out in 3 weeks! Advisories already fixed!) - Booked in tomorrow 08 MAY 2015, checked car over and fixed blown bulbs and so long has passed it is due again, booked in tomorrow 25th April to be sure!
Dent on bonnet/Boot (May fix/replace, will se on how annoying it is and spare cash) – Not bothered with, except for when I tried to fix myself and made it worse, I have a few options though.......
Totally standard! (Does it want anything or just site stickers ) - Site stickers Done, that’s enough for now
Handbrake (Pulls too high, will see if MOT passes it first) – Replaced rear callipers and adjusted fine
Service (Due one, FSH though!) - Sorted, about due another!

Drives:
ZS MK2 - XPG 120+, Climate Control, Leather/Alcantara, standard so long as you ignore the backbox, and brilliant fun to drive!
Mondeo MK3 LX - Silver, family runabout, 1.8 16v, standard, does the job!
