I carried out the final part of my extensive service schedule today, i.e. a dampness test.

Using my caravan damp test meter I carried out checks on both cars taking readings on two places in each foot well plus another two readings from the boot spare wheel well.

Results were zero reading from both cars rear foot wells and passengers side front and a reading of 10% & 11% respectively from the drivers side from the diesel and V6.

The V6 boot showed zero and the diesel gave a reading of 13% but when I tested a separate piece of the underlay (green foam carpet underlay) I have used in the boot I also got the same 13%.

So I'm satisfied that both cars are dry for the time being as even a 10 % reading does not give cause for concern.

I have noted my readings on a service sheet for future reference.
