It appears my car is (white) smoking slightly after blipping the throttle which to me would probably point to coolant being boiled or oil being burned. After my turbo replacement saga and the fact I've spent (for me) a fortune this year on my little baby, I'm buggered if I'm going to do any more work on the car until Spring approaches. Then it will be a full service and do the required repairs which I have a feeling might cost me a little bit and I really can't justify it until later in the year.

So, apart from making sure she is snug in the garage all winter away from the horrid salt, rain and cold, is there anything else I should do to prepare her for waking up in March?

Many Thanks smile.

If I was going to store a car and was absilutly sure i wasnt goint to use it, I would take the brake pads out and then spray everything in WD40. Id also put a bit of wood under the brake pedal just in case!
