That's the benefit of experience  I had to guess everything.
I still think you'd be doing well at an hour.
Took me an hour to get that heat shield off. Mine is the version in three pieces. Heat ... |

Yes. Fairly easy I believe. 
I take it you were joking, or maybe you meant relatively for an RRs?
This is the sort of nonsense that's been worrying me since I bought it. Most parts c ... |

Power assistance seems to come and go at short intervals as if the pump is drawing air or the relief valve is bouncing open and shut.

Update.
Gap 11D now works in my OBD port after tightening up the female connectors.

Update.
Got an OBD extension cable.
Seemed to work, although the blue led on the gap is quite faint. Initial red and green bright.
Checked all the faults in case any needed investigation and ... |

My port seems ok. Power and earth good. Pins clean and in place.
Gap11D doesn't like it though. Have to twist it slightly to one side for it to wake up.
Then i ... |

Ok then. Tyres about as good as we can get, so back to the dampers 
If they default to hard, is there a way of finding out whether they are still able to adjust to soft?
If one of the ter ... |
