Steering wheel and seat bolster re-covered. Planning on sorting out the middle bit when it goes in for the airbag recall.

Driver's side mirror was held together with putty and finally decided it needed to retire.

Thanks @DINODENASH for coming through with a replacement.

Hope that monkey got stewed in a badly salted pot and was not enjoyed by the person who at it!

Car is looking good, nice progress made there

Regarding the vibration dampener, did not know this was a M54 issue? Why did you change it, where there any symptoms?

I have a bit of a vibration just above idle on my car with new OEM engine mounts, wonder if it could be the dampener

There was a slight vibration and the VD had visible cracks on it.
