Sounds like a plan
Btw, the other small thing you should get done is this: https://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/cons...ogen-inflation
I've found it maintains the correct pressures for longer, and maintaining correct tyre pressures at all times is important. Oh look, there's an ATS in Bellshill:
https://centre.atseuromaster.co.uk/811396-bellshill
Get ye along there...

Nice one, mate. Just keeps the tyre pressures correct for longer, and if the pressures are right, your tyres will wear less, the car will handle better and also use less fuel. Not bad for an outlay of just over a fiver!
There's also an ATS in Wishaw, but I thought that the one in Bellshill might be nearer for you.

Today is the 14th birthday of my E46 320d touring.
Today was also it’s sixth contrôle technique.
Today it passed with flying colours with an advisory that the front fog lights are set too high.
The guy testing the car says it looks like new. Oh happy days....

I really like the E46, I've got a 15 year old 323CI. BMW recalled it last year for new airbags and while the dealer had it they did a mini service free of charge. Even the dealer said the E46 was one of the best shapes BMW made.
