It's not just a tarp, it's a proper waterproof and breathable cover, and the ground drains well. Ok, it's not ideal but seems to stay dry and damp / mould free, and is regularly started and rolled back and forward.

Car dropped off with the tuna, had a good long chat about colour matching, wheel hub assemblies, correct use of Google in the diagnostic and fault finding procedure across multiple disciplens, and how my car really needs a more open backbox and deleted centre pipe to make the pops on the overrun more audible. I think it's in safe hands

Fair do's, but surely the equivalent of keeping £25k under the mattress?

Had to drain the fuel from the Rover today, engine running with the fuel return running into a jerry can. A good car with a few too many problems slowly dying until it takes a last breath and stops  I hate mechanical stuff dying, it's rather pathetic  Poor Rover, you will be sadly missed and end your days in the great scrapyard in the sky.

Is car coolant just water? Or is it something else as it looks a bit orange like to me? It's at the minimum line so I think it's why my heater keeps blowing cold air when I go round corners quickly?

So 50% water and 50% neat windscreen washer fluid? That is antifreeze right?

Not quite Dave - you need to buy proper coolant. It's not stupidly expensive. Only open the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold.

I should RTFM. Am I meant to check it when it's cold? (I know I shouldn't open it when it's hot as that would scald me but the bottle is transparent.)

Tragic I know. I've not hit 35 yet either which is officially the middle age starting point. Maybe the slide starts before that point.

Tell me about it (approaching 34, feels like 54).

Wasn't the purchase of an automatic estate proof you were already there?

MI5 have confirmed he had committed suicide using the traditional Russian method: He shot himself 3 times in the head then hid the gun.

Is that steering wheel a bit thin? I prefer a bit of girth to grip onto myself

Looks nice, there's a VX220 parked in our residential carpark in London which is used by a builder, the interior is covered in crap and the outside looks horrendous. I shall take a pic next time I come across it.
