Thought it was about time I updated this, So after finally getting car back on the road and through the MOT, whilst taking it for the MOT the oil temp gauge decided to stop giving a reading unless I was parked on a hill facing down :S but around a week later I started getting some serious screeching going off on one of the wheels, turned out it was the left rear calliper had seized after having new pads put on so it was catching. Whilst that was happening I'd ordered some new goodies and they arrived: id-workz front upper strut brace, Whiteline rarb from Enzo, Also jd torque damper kit
