Morning Landie my engine bay is always kept clean so just a quick rinse over with a hand held water sprayer wipe around left to dry then apply Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing
If it was very dirty or oily I would use Autosmart G101 that's got to be the best stuff ever made and it's called 101 because it's got 101 uses 8)
And I tried out some new Meguiar’s Ultimate Protectant Dash & Trim Restorer for the Arches and bumpers so will see what that's like Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.

Thanks buddy - might have to do something with mine, just been a bit hesitant to spray much in there (other than WD40 on the turbo linkage )

Went along to an event I saw a flyer posted for nearby.
Turned out to be a "Taxed Vehicle" trials event in a forest.
Nice Shiny D3 did everything that all the others in their Defenders were doing, only one event not completed as a clear because my tyres really weren't up to it.
Not a bad day out for a fiver, but not sure I'll be going again. Bit Cliquey and if you're house doesn't have a barn you don't really seem to fit in.

I would go back with better tyres and wipe the floor with some of them for a laugh.. but that's just me.
I drove mine to the train station, and tonight i shall drive it home again. Currently on 370 miles and have just over 1/4 tank left. I love motorway driving and warm weather.
