Replaced the N75 as all valves start to wear, as part of my 20yr 100k miles preventative maintenance and it was quite an awkward position to get to.

Not sure if it is me, but after a quick drive the car pulls harder and more positive now......hard to explain, but appears to be a worthwhile task. Original was a 2005 version D and now on a 2023 version F.

Changed out the cam follower following a long wait for a genuine part. Existing one didn’t seem too bad ?







Also I don’t think the PCV valve has even been replaced - does this number on the top reflect the date of manufacture and install ??

Did the discs and pads on the 4mo, went with pagid pads and audura discs had a nightmare figuring out if it was 280, 288 or 312 but managed in the end and put some tyre shine on just to show it off some more  :love: ignore how bad the rims are, in need of a good referb  :laugh:

New PCV and redone vac pump seal. Just the brake booster hose left to do next week to stop the vaccum leak I've got. Then I'm pretty happy with where the car is at!
