Drove out of my garage onto the drive. Let the engine tick over for 20 minutes (revved a few times) as Green Flag recommend (although could be controversial). Greased the kingpins and cleaned the front wheels. Drove back into the garage.

I made the decision early on to abide by the spirit of the lockdown and not try to find (admittedly easy) excuses to use the Morgan. It hasn't been easy with the weather we've been having. Especially as so many seem to find reasons to get out and about. I'll bet elderly parents have never had so many of their offspring visit them bringing shopping. And "go to the shops once a week" has been interpreted as "go to each supermarket at least once a week".

Anyway, kingpins greased once more but I think I'm over-greasing them as there's a lot of grease around the lower upper spring and the lower spring. Had this problem last year when I experienced a bit of pulling to one side under braking which Techniques diagnosed as a build up of grease in getting onto the near side disc. I cleaned it all off but will have to be less liberal with the grease gun in future. Tried for an "arty" shot of a wheel and the car but probably should have set it up properly and used the real camera!
