In the course of doinmg this job, also replaced one tie rod end that was seized due to rust. After a spate of weird electric problems (satnav intermittent, soft close door would not latch), car seemingly to run on only 4 cylinders with no acceleration, and a scan showing only half of the ECUs reporting to the system, it was dtermined that an IVM (Integrated Voltage Module) might fix the faults. 15 minute job to R&R and job done. All fixed after codes cleared and car runs better than it ever has.
