Default CSl Spring refresh

So I'm a bit late with the winter makeover so I'm doing it in the spring!

Plans are as follows:

1. New front prop coupling (old one worn out)
2. New AC condenser (see if this helps cooling)
3. Gearbox fluid change/Diff fluid change
4. Power steering fluid change
5. AP brake strip, seals, nipples and paint an refit
6. New good ridge brake lines
7. Front brake stone guards
8. Front and rear wheel bearings
9. Intrax refurb to black Titan
10. New Geo

Need to get going!

Stick to "Lemforder" , "Valeo", etc parts as they are (more often than not) one of the BMW OEM parts makers

Lemforder is OEM quality. Used a few bits on mine, tie rod ends, track rod ends etc. Know people who've used them for lower arms and they've been fine
