I got a set of discs and pads to change ( the discs haven't arrived yet !)an exhaust which keeps on hitting the floor when driven hard, an oil service light burning a hole in my head and a brake pad warning light doing the same.
I think Uwe, Steve and myself are ona 0745 ferry on Friday.

Mine is just the sensors. I know it because I fried one up myself
Ordered new tyres as well and they didn't arrive today. So the old ones are suddenly perfect

Well, I fixed my dodgy cooling fan - after stripping apart most of the front end, I discovered a stone jamming the fan blades, and both fuses blown - stone removed and two new fuses and all's well!
The track tyres are now off and I tightened the loose ARB drop-link (hopefully this was the annoying klunk).
Just have to check the tyre pressures, top up the oil, look out the GB sticker, fill the wash bottle and maybe give it a quick clean if i've any time left.
Oh yeh, I still have to get some funny money, but might just leave it to Mr Plastic once I'm over there.

Fitted new bells (with spigot) and new hubs for good measure - praise
the lord it all fits and spins nicely with no grinding noises.
New front tyres also fitted but with eibach setup they rub on the lower part of the cowling on full
lock (extra rubber) so last thing is to take off/modify lower front cowling
and we are away.
4 of us leaving dover - seacat - Friday - 10am.
PS was in Chipstead (nr croydon) yesterday evening, saw black/macau E30 M3 who flashed me - anyone we know?
