Yup, nice & tidy under there. Tyre treads are looking a tad low so will be looking at getting them replaced. Had an oil & filter change along with the gearbox oil a week before I got it so pleased with that.
Looking to upgrade the speakers at the moment as it sounds a bit tinny in there.

It looks ok under there, the upgrade to the gear linkage is well worth having, the poly bush works better if the edges are softened a bit, like the one on the right in the pic

Easily the best job I've had. I've been on the spanners, Service Advisor, Service Manager & now this. If you told me I would be doing this 20 years ago I would of said righty'o! It's hard work, paperwork is a nightmare but the staff are amazing, the students can be testing but funny but it's all worth it.
Plus I get 40 days holiday
