Today my vert got fresh oil and a new filter - one of the only ones with a non return valve, like the original oem filters had, but non of the options available now are fitted with.
So, now my oil light vanishes after half a second instead of 5 seconds which can't be good for the engine.

I use Gliptone's Liquid Leather,

I do feed the seams on a regular basis on the backrest as that section has a tendency to dry out and shrink then the seams go.

Did your bonnet insulation stick? was it pre-glued or did you spray on?
Mine looks OK but doesn't stay stuck in hotter places despite new glue.

The left and right side stuck on but the centre section was a bit "awkward" I suppose years in the loft didn't do it any favours and I really need to check to see if its still stuck on and not just sitting on top of the engine.paultv wrote:Did your bonnet insulation stick? was it pre-glued or did you spray on?

The bits that didn't stick I used some 3M spray glue for foam.

Drove it to work. Stefan, what alarm system have you got on your car and how does it operate? eg: does it operate when the roof is down?
