Sue, give everything a good clean in the engine bay. get some gloves on and give it all a good spay with WD40 then wipe everything you can get to with a cloth.
Makes doing routine maintenance much more pleasurable.
Also makes spotting oil leeks.
Just be careful you dont pull any wires off while youre cleaning.
Im hoping to be up Masham at the old station when they open if you need a hand with anything

Got all excited and ready to order a few bits from Brickwerks BUT
I know I need a square air filter, but they've got two of the blummin things
Want to get plugs, BUT, are they pin or din? I will now have to get in the engine, take a plug lead off and look. Hope it comes off easily and goes back on properly
Then can't get leads or dizzy cap until I know which plugs I need
At least I do know which oil, oil filter, fan belt and which blummin Haynes I need, good job we aren't going anywhere till March
