Work is done for the day so a bit of general maintenance is needed.
Squeaks from the back when jumping on the boot I have narrowed down the centre pipe/back box joint moving and also one of the hangars hitting the beam. Not the rear beam bearings as I feared although there is always a worry they are a problem. Centre pipe is loose at the cat end too so Ive just bought two new clamps. Rear discs are worn so ive just ordered new ones.

Squeaks from the front passenger side that developed last night in the rain are under investigation. Hoping that its just the strut mount bearings failing. Ill have the spring caps and compbrake mounts in the next week!
Whilst the car was up on stands I decided to fit the replacement rear bumper. What an easy job it is! Cut out the hole for the tow bar, swapped the plates cleaned up the lenses and put in some new LED number plate lights. Found a whole load of stones in the arch liner at one side and found a whole load of mud and ruined carpet in the other side.
