Full Circle - Just bought a 4.8is again after all these years and need to mod

Hi All

Well I have today just bought (for my wife) another 4.8is which is all but identical to the one I had back in '06.

It needs some work and some maintenance, but overall it was worth the buy.

It needs a couple of things doing straight up...

New water pump, suspension air bags have had it, angel eyes are oxidized and have wrong leds causing flickering reverse lights.

So I have to mess with the headlights as they are pretty bad, and from memory they are adaptive? Can anyone recommend replacements of the complete vs polishing on a 4.8?

Also, I'm seriously considering ripping out the air bags and replacing them with Bilsteins. Has anyone here done that and able to comment?

Finally, the car is using run flats and has a tire pressure warning light. Th e pressures are the same. Does anyone have any thoughts on what's happening?

Cheers
