My Caravan did his saddest job today. He drove my wife to hospital. Things look very bad

Really sorry to hear that. I hope better news is to follow.  :-[

Mine passed 180,000 today. It still drives better than many new cars imo.
Got a chance to test the new GM pads I fitted all round a few days ago. I can see why TB and others recommend them so strongly. They were superb.  :)

Fitted refurbished sanded and polished headlights with UV protection film, new adjusters and all new bulbs to one of them, now have another set to refurbish ready for another one!

The question is, do I fit new adjusters if the originals aren't broken as I have two spare aftermarket ones.....?

Are these the genuine ones as per factory fit as opposed to the TC ones? I have had a few sets of those and the pedal feel is much improved over the TC versions.

Yes.

I'm inclined to agree, you just know the originals will fail within a week of fitting them to a car! Also gives you an opportunity to give the reflector a gentle clean when the lense is removed - I was surprised how dirty they were on the ones I refurbished.
