Starting an engine after a year
I've been abroad for a year so Pootle has been sat in the garage without being started once. Are there any sensible things I should/shouldn't do before popping in the battery (brand new) and starting him up? He's a backdated SC with 3.0 engine. Had full oil change not many miles ago but obvs that's ...

Re: Mechanics Garage - Filming Location required!
Close one Ralf! But I need it to be set back off the road so that I don't have to stop any traffic. But my word what a beauty Lingfield garage is!!! I find myself wanting to go to all the suggestions and take a pic of Pootle outside! Here's a better idea...I am thinking seriously about organising so...

Re: Mechanics Garage - Filming Location required!
Canford's is too far to shoot, but I have a feeling I may still need to come down and 'recce' the facilities, just to make sure!

I'm getting conflicting info from my service manual (says Bosch WR7DP) and world webby info, which say NGK is better, but give all sorts of spec depending on year of SC? I can't find on DDK etc my specif...
