Default Car on SORN again until March

Well that was a quick 8 months
Have to say the old beast has behaved better this than it has for the last 10, though still had a few probs to solve but non major. So whats going on this year whilst its on SORN?
1. Usual rotor arm and cap as the high power coil chews them up in 5k miles
2. Upgrade the brakes and calipers.
3. Usual oil and filter change and clean and re-oil the K&N
4. Improve the chargecooler cooling with an extra fan (this will bring the number of fans this car has to 6 )
5. Cure the oil leak from the rear diff (actually coming out the rubber boot for the diff lock)
6. Get the slightly buckled wheel repaired after hitting a flaming pothole last year in the dark.
7. 4 new tyres (these been on almost 5 years) as grip definitely not what it was (put my foot down in 2nd in the cold morning air yesterday and lost traction almost instantly)
8. Sort alternator issue, Only kicking out 12.5 to 13V, try a new regulator first but suspect one of the diodes internally goosed and cannot remember which Audi model I got this off lol
9. Electric aerial just started playing up again after its refurb last year so thats going to have to get a new internal relay this time.

Needs to be spot on as off for a trip around Europe in it next year
Green = completed
