It's been sat on the driveway doing nothing at all for ages, it was last driven on 16th December 2008 as it blew a core plug that proved to be a nightmare to get at due to the non-standard exhaust maniolds that i'd got fitted so the repairs kept getting put off. We've had the engine in bits as we had to take it out anyway but nothing else on the car has been touched.
Due to how long it's been stood doing nothing i expected a hefty fail list due to bits ceased up & through general lack of use. So imagine my shock today when the bloke pulls my car out of the garage and comes over & says-
"we've had to fit a new wiper blade".
I asked "what else needs doing?"
And i get the reply of - "Nothing, everything else appears fine, we've not issued any advisories"
I drove all the way home looking like listening to some pushrod V6 burble!
Now if only my R-Reg Rover 220SDi could acheive the same next month!
