Bloody brilliant!

Just had the car out for the first time in 5 weeks on the driest (ish) day for weeks I have missed the noise and in the dark!

Just a few observations/questions

1) forgot to take hat so the top 2 inches of head were very chilly!

2) Car very nearly didn't start so am thinking I need a trickle charger any favourites or advice?

3) When I got the car out of the garage there were a couple of spots of oil and a small puddle under the engine is it condensation or should I be worried I got the torch out and could see the drip!

4) The handbrake light flashers and seems like it is set too low (the handbrake is not on)

5) my 3 stage switch for the dash lights has the following configuration off - on - off ! I am sure this is not right how should it work and again any pointers, not bothered as I have off and on but just a niggle.

Apart from that spot on on all the gauges including oil temp (an extra Ian fitted) and had a wail of a drive until a bus ruined the fun!

Thanks in advance

Andy

Not sure why but my rad, well the hose connections to it seem to leak a tiny amount but only when its stood for a while during the winter.

Quite jealous of you getting out as mines sorned now till the spring.

Had similar issue with water, turned out to be very tiny leak on hose by pump - but it took me over a year to find it.
