Lights were my main concern.
Litteraly just chopped the location tabs off the bulbs and set* the aim* on the garage wall.
Proper LHD lights are on my search list.

Just my luck to buy an American car with RHD lights in a LHD country 🤔

Another parcel has arrived from Rockauto 😁
One part was a cam position sensor.
Obviously the cam position sensor is located under the dizzy rotor...

Very fiddly to replace, had to modify a few tools to get at it.
Check engine light is now out.
Should improve mpgs too.

My Buick will be staying for a bit longer...
Just had a puncture and looking at the remaining tyres decided to replace the lot.
