That looks nice and clean Dave. Had a look at mine a couple of years ago and covered it in waxoyle. Must have another look when I get round to re-commissioning it. Started it up yesterday and only turned the key and away it went. Ran it for around 30 minutes at between 1000-2000 rpm to get it properly warmed up and put some juice back in the battery. Once again checked brake disc’s and they are still nice and shiny. Operated the clutch a number of times, along with the brakes. Problem is, I am enjoying the KV6 with its automatic box, and cruise control. I don’t know why, but I still think that the diesel is a more solid car than the petrol. I have got until the end of June to make up my mind which one I am going to keep. After having the timing belts done in August, it seems a shame to get rid of it though. Time will tell.
