Thanks Jim, and also Will who drove the car over a little earlier today for me
My anxiety levels have most definitely risen dropping the car off....
It will have done it a world of good today having been driven over to Bolton..which is about 16 miles ish from here including a decent stretch of motorway driving so all the systems got a good workout...especially brakes, suspension and cooling systems
Will says it drove perfectly so im happy that after being laid up for a year (at the end of this month) it performs in this way....I guess me moving it about up and down the street a few times in that time has kept the vitals working...i was seriously expecting something to break or stop working due to lack of use but all good so far....
Ive given the garage some tips on how to interact with the xm including "dont use the jacking points" use the subframe to support it when they do the inner cv boot. I also checked to make sure we have a ball joint on the shelf at work in case they knacker the old one getting it out of the way.
I cant bear the car being in the hands of anyone other than Paris Autos who usually do the work....its scary
