Replaced windscreen washer pump.
Polished Mrs X5 headlights
Received my RH Front CV.
Ordered trans filter kit.
Ordered alternator belt tensioner.
Just have to buy a 36mm socket on the weekend as the one I ordered online turns out to be drop-shipped from china and wont arrive in time.

I bought mine from O'Reilly they stock the 12pt size needed for axle nut.

Not the strongest socket mine shows wear on the drive hole but it's done the job a few times.

Coincidentally the socket fits the oil filter cap as well.

I'm actually in shock... The socket arrived today.

Here's hoping it doesn't rain so I can get it over with.

Wasn't mine, but my mom's, she picked up an 03 3.0. Needs lots of love. I polished the headlights.
