Speaking of filler cat not sealing. I have noticed on mine when I put her in the garage at night or after a long drive and turn the engine off my fuel cap makes a constant pressure releasing sound like a whistle. Is that normal?

Just got back from mine, - FAIL!

Not at all bad though which I'm glad. I had a side light out too (which I should have noticed)  :rolleyes:, and I need a new passanger headlight if anyone has one going spare for a few beer tokens!? This was because it was quite far off and the adjustment mech has was snapped. I joey'd my lights a while back, and I put them in the oven for a few minutes to break the seal. Needless to say, I left it in a bit too long and it melted.  :embarassed:. Anyway not an expensive fix, so get this all sorted and another years ticket. No advisories either so bonus really.  :smiley:

I believe its normal stainsey will just be vacuum pressure, you'll notice it more when you've had your foot planted on a long journey or if you sit on the redline like me   :grin:
