You can go on the dvla recall website and if it shows up just call your local dealer to book it in. and cross your fingers it comes out in one piece

To fit the front grills there is no need to remove the bumper,I have no idea why the other chap removed his to fit then

Hi, I'm curious why did you remove the bumper to fit the grills?

You cannot fit the lower grill without taking the bumper off. I fitted two tapped plates to the back of the existing grill and fitted the Lockwoods with two domes hex key bolts.

I've spoken to the service manager at my local dealer and he tells me that my car is due for the fuel pump and the suspension arm recalls but I've had no notification as yet.
He tells me that the notification to owners is staggered so as to space out the workload for the dealers especially at this time of year when they are busy preparing new cars.
In a nutshell, don't panic, your time will come.

I fitted all my front grills(including lower grills), without removing the bumper, I used the zunsport grills, unless they differ from the lock wood grills,but I wouldn't of thought so.

hi daz was a good time to check for damage and debris plus i love fiddling with car

[Reloy]

Fixed my power steering for the umpteenth time this morning

Edit: I'm tempted to get an AEM intake, just so I can always have easy access to the connectors without messing around with the airbox each time.
