Cars of any make, getting to around 20 years old, need some fettling to keep them sweet. Rolling around on cold, damp concrete or any other surface in the wintertime doesn't seem to be as much fun as it did years ago. I used to maintain a fleet of vehicles up North, in all weathers. Recovering HGV s from slush covered motorways, freezing cold and wet through used to be the order of the day. Warming yourself in a flow of diesel fumes from the exhaust of a recovery truck used to be a pleasure.


My recent exploits, almost gassing myself with paint fumes in the heated garage had me thinking too!


I may not be far behind you but what to have in the Rover's place is a minefield. I would like something simple, well built, turboless and high enough to get in and out with ease!


Take care and stay safe. Good health is the most important thing.
