Locking Module for central locking; front passenger side (f221) implausible signal fault - requires investigation.
Found Catalyst heat shield adrift
Oil leak from boost pipe requires replacement
Rear Windscreen washer not working

Hmm guess the guy i got it off "forgot" to mention these

Cannot see any sign of oil leak, all is clean under the hood.

Heat shield is in good nick but definitely loose, will tighten it back up this weekend.

Central locking works fine, in order to open the passenger door though I have to press the open button on the key a 3/4 times before it unlocks so thats obviously what thread fault is.

Rear washer is a loose connection in the tail gate.

So today I set about replacing my drop links.

I found no drop link on the passenger side, all that was left was the hacked off remains which I was unable to remove today, couldn't stop it spinning.

As for the drivers side, it was there but its broken.
