Cheers Dan.
I installed a thing:
Couldn't be bothered to buy vacuum hose so I just used some old washer hose!
Then I "tested" my new tyres with a little offroading.
Tomorrow - possible lowering. At last. I'll leave you with this from my test drive today:

Econ gauge looks good, just noticed saloons don't have that vent behind the back doors like the hatches do lol

Ok looks like I found at least one problem. Dissecting the fuel gauge brought me down to this layer:
The plastic at the bottom fell out when I took it apart, so I guess it disconnected itself. Gauge appears to work now but I have a full tank, only time will tell!
Also, STICKERS
I love stickers.

Impressed speedy, never noticed how much you had done. And the colour coded bumpers really improved it!
Makes me like my loon even more.

I didn't bud, always wanted to replace the rear as it's a bit of a state but never got around to it
