Inspections aren't happening until after Christmas. Getting everything else ready in the meantime and that's all going alright.

I agree with you that it is 'worst design ever'.. Can't see it from the driver's seat, have to lift the hood/bonnet and then there isn't much to see because it's sealed in a black box full of magic!! I say the brake design is better...

Mine lasted almost exactly 100K but it was a year younger than yours. I thought they were supposed to last 5 years and I only got 4.

Don't remember the mileage but mine lasted just a little better than 4 years before I replaced it. Mine went stone dead when I inadvertently left the dome light on for about 6 hours in a parking garage. Car jumped fine and the battery charged up some on the drive home, but I decided to go ahead and replace it since I was going to take it out to charge it anyway.
