Went into town today, wet orrible muddy/dirty road, Got a message "blind spot monitoring blocked" guess its time for a wash then ;)
The little radar modules (Lr call them that) are in the lower rear quarter where all the ****e is sprayed onto, so its either find some puddles to splash through or wash it;).

These things are sent to try me but I manage:) most of the time;).

New copper washers no more drip,
Quick look underneath on the ramp no other damp bits got my heatshields back on from when I did my propshaft bearing,
Tweaked the rear sill covers down and back to peek a look still silver no rust and it's solid so Im still happy with it,

@Mark Piercy wouldn't you? Petrol every day!!
It would depend on the uses of the car.. Short and frequent journeys (not for dpf based diesels) is better with petrol, longer drives then it's diesel for myself. Everywhere here is mostly at least 20 mins drive at 56mph. My brakes last forever🤷👍
I understand where you are coming from tho kermitsen. 😉

Greetings Gang, Well, I have been off the grid for the past 2 years due to the unpleasantness that kicked off here in Crimea. So put the black beast onto the axel stands and exited stage left to sunnier climbs for a while. Any how I'm back now and tomorrow will go and see how the Beast has fared. So, fingers crossed and hopefully my usual practice of when I have been away before will have paid off and after a bit of fettling I will put the battery back on and give it a whirl. Longest time before this one was 14 months and all was good but it's a much older vehicle now. I will give an update tomorrow on how it goes and hopefully not have to be asking any stupid questions of Errr what do I do now but know that you will all be there to help out if needed. Also, I am looking forward to being back around the forum and the lovely banter.
