Have you somewhere dry to park overnight? Stick a slab of cardboard under the back - will show any drips (or possibly cats **** if in street)
Only other thing I would say is make sure it’s greased/fluids topped up, if it ain’t dripping will last til weather dries in few months.

There's no drip. And no, the car lives outside.

If that’s the P38 you are talking about - Yes it Ufcking IS! IMHO....

A fan belt change is a piece of cake on my P38, 5 minutes at the most, but then I don't have the viscous fan or cowl to remove

Wish the cowl split like the v8. That would save so much flaffing about.

Changed front wiper blades for Bosch aerowotsits, went to do the back one and my tailgate button don't work no more. Bollocks.

If it turns out to be the boot switch itself, I posted a low cost more reliable alternative button replacement a while ago.

Replaced the plenum intake foam that had fallen to bits with perforated alloy, so that's both P38's done now, they will never have to be done again

Hard to discern between previous drips on road?
They will be fracking where i used to park my 90, looks like clean tarmac as whole area is completely black.

Sweet. I'm so glad not to be alone on this journey. Although, my lowest recently was 2.4 MPG though the streets of York.
Tricky.

Engine oil and filter change. Great to let the serf go under to drain oil whilst I change filter. Jobs a good un

I'm pretty sure it would not last long in the sun down here, metal will never need doing again.

The heater fan on the 92 is kaput...
Beginning the removal process....
First step requires deep thinking...
Followed by a healthy “ oh crap “
And deep sigh..,
Lol..
