Check your wipers for splits as well, make sure the headlight beam pattern is ok, also as Stu said check all your bulbs and make sure they work, this is one thing people usually forget, and also make sure your foglight works.
My rear pads have just under 3mm left on them, would that be an issue? They've got another 2000 miles in them according to TGM.
Thanks for the pointer on the wipers, will check them. All bulbs are fine, I check them regularly.
