Well, now it's approaching winter time I have decided to throw myself headfirst into doing a few jobs on my car.
Nearly all don't need doing urgently, but I feel the car deserves it.
List so far:
That's enough to be getting on with!
First bit of fun was getting the inlet manifold off.
Four of the allen headed bolts were FT and had rounded off heads. 3 were extracted by using a torx bit, but the last one had to be carefully drilled out!

List so far:
- Replace Cabin Filter & Sealng Gasket (Done - not as quick as you would expect!)
- Take Dashboard top to the trimmers to sort a small ripple out (in progress, dropped it off at a lovely local place and drooled at a gleaming DB5 they had in at the moment) Done
- Replace All Coolant Hoses with Roose Hose Kit (chose OEM black style so that it looks original) Done
- Check Vacuum Hoses using Mityvac and Replace as necessary Done
- Renew some hose clips (i've bougt a job lot of Mikalor pinch/crimp clips so it looks OEM) Otherwise I will use Stainless JC clips. Done
- Replace Knock sensors whilst in there. Done
- Replace Cam and Crank Sensors (probably not necessary!) Done
- Send Injectors to be tested and cleaned & renew sealing rings etc (suscpect they may be creating a small vacuum leak, o rings look dried up) Done & refurbed
- Paint Subframes using three stage POR 15 process Done
- Replace Turbo to sump hoses with Roose Items, again in OEM black Done
- Replace Perished Rubber injector connector boots etc and renew loom tape in a couple of places Done
- Consider fitting a new starter motor whilst in there Done
