I finally found a trustworthy guy to leave my X with for an all day repair session; dropping it off yesterday night, we did the engine mounts, new front-left shock and brake booster which had failed in traffic halfway down one of Abu Dhabi's main highways while taking my daughter to school... drove it for 2 days in a 'pumping iron' style until I could leave it there. Now there is virtually no engine noise in the cabin at idle and the vibrations in the steering wheel are a thing of the past. So worth it...

Looking forward to getting my Bluetooth code reader (torque-compatible) when my folks get here in a couple of weeks
