Hi Dave, I found cobwebs in places, it just goes to show how quiet it is in a derv's engine bay.

Noisy wipers not good at this time of year so a nice new set of Aeros and silence is golden

I know what you mean. The 75 tourer I went to have a look at to see if it was any good, also had cobwebs in the engine bay and the plenum. That car is now owned by Andy NO1 at Tamworth.

Like a few others, took the ZT out for a good run as it hasn't be used much over the last few weeks with a combination of working from home, having the works car for on-call and using the Volvo for running to the railway station.

Quick check over before hand and noted the coolant a little low, still just a nat's above the MAX but had dropped a bit so added a splash. I had noticed a damp patch on the lower RH corner of the radiator but doesn't seem to be leaving any drips so I might have to take the front bumper off for a proper check. Might just be a weep on a fin, in which case a blob of JB-Weld will probably stop that.

Well finally took the beast for its extended lockdown MOT...

So hopefully heres to a chance to do so motoring in 2021.

Over past few days, new drivers seat base cover (lucky and got last blue summit one from Rimmers), illuminated sunvisors and replacement (cheap stick-on) passenger side mirror
Hope today to strip drivers seat cover off again and stick the Velcro back to foam, had no glue the other day ��
