When I had my 2002 Plus8 I looked at what it needed for long term keeping. During ownership it was checked regularly for ageing signs. Chassis, rear axle all good with cleaning and redone paint/waxes. Regular ACF treatment, greasing.....
Galvanised chassis plus Bilt Humber treatment.
I put together a list of things....
It was a 20+ year old car. Several things done already but more to do. No corrosion except exhaust clamps, some light rust on exposed bolts, some bullet connectors....
Electrics was on the list , some signs of age showing( connectors/ bulb holders etc. Coolant hoses great ( silicone) but some rubber fuel etc ok but listed.
Test drove a Plus Four CX.
Hmmmmmmm
Decision time.
Me getting older, starting to want less time hands-on and more time driving, family commitments.....
Enjoying the Plus Four now. Yes, regular checks/ sprucing up but no projects yet.
Off to Scotland next week so watching fuel stops!
