Cleaned the moss and algae from the windows............then let the rain wash the detritus away.
Happy days - still haven't got round to replacing the nearside front window cabling - hence the "boing"alarm when trying to put the roof down

at least the roof still goes up and down as the window will drop the distance require.....it just won't go up fully when you put the roof up - a sharp upward tug on the window as it rises solves the problem temporarily - just as well the windows work with door open.

Not working... When on imgur you need to click the picture you want to copy, the picture will open with a lot of codes and you need to click on the BBcode button to copy it then paste to the forum

I used to use the one in my old 854 2L as an indicator as to when it was safe to turn off the engine after a cold start.....if I turned off before it went out it wouldn't restart due to petrol wash down reducing the compression, it had well over 200K miles on when sold-on and had never had the cylinder head off for a decoke or the valves reseated so cylinder compression was vital, - it required removing each plug, syringing 20ml of 2 stroke oil or UCL into each cylinder, replacing the plugs and then starting with the attendant blue cloud

It was either that or ten to fifteen minutes churning over and over to get the oil back around the oil control rings
