I have just acquired a selection of juicy and ez detailing products for temeraire. Just needs to have this storm blow over and the hosepipe ban lifting and it's time for the off season deep clean. Pity I'm not allowed to store her under cover at the farm so paint protection will have to do.

Yesterday I did the 6000 mile 5 wheel rotation. All tyres wearing pretty evenly.
the Yokohama Geolanders have done approximately 34000 miles now and still have (on average) 4.3mm of tread.

It appears that you left the bonnet open and loki or one of the frost giants has helped themselves to half of your engine!

Hoping Loki and his friends also helped themselves with the valve stem seals and will return it ready to be fit back in tonight. But there is slim chance of that I am afraid.
Not sure I'll bother with them, but I should..

There is a very noticable edge from wear in the cylinders too, but doing honing and rings will not happen. It runs fine. Just doing the head gasket to keep the oil inside the engine.

When I lifted the head cover off i could just barely hear something falling out and hitting the floor thru "Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother.
