    Should I Rebuild?

    @q5sys based on that list of dealerships I've had a good experience with checkered flag JLR in VA Beach for parts. I don't live in the area so I can't comment on the service side of things.

    Isn't there some function in the GAP tool for when you put in a new battery too?
