Well for the first 4 years i had it about 3k per year, but the last 15 months i had only done 900 miles as i was building a beach buggy so was engrossed in that and the M sat in its air chamber a bit lonely. And i was on the buggy forum every night getting help and advice .all finished now so some more z time👍

For the first 4 years i had it , it was about 3k per year,, but over the last 15months only 950 miles as i was building a beach buggy so the mc sat in its air chamber a bit lonely. Buggy all finished now so more M time. Iguess fuell would have been a bit stale as you suggested.

That wasn't my suggestion, but it is plausible. Give the Italian tune up a go :thumbsup:
