Default What are people doing to thier cars over the winter?

Just been out to start work on my car while she’s tucked up for the winter. Since I put her back together end of last year ive had an oil leak getting on the cam belt and throwing oil around the engine I think it’s the crack seal so that’s where im starting.

What are you planning to yours during the hibernation?

I'm doing a bit of blinging namely cleaning all the engine hoses and fitting a grp a cone, also changing the pig tail pipe from the ps resevoir to the ps pump as it is perished and fooked, apart from that just longing for the warm weather to get her back out on the street
