Fired up the ZS today

First time it has fired in anger since September! Removed the pump relay to prime the oil system, cranked it over until the oil light went out, replaced relay then bang! All 6 pots firing sweetly

God didn't it sound bloody good!

I miss driving it!

What car are you driving at the mo?

It was a land Rover Discovery 2 TD5 for the dogs, but that's in for insurance assessment! So I have a hire car, paid through my legal cover, a VW Tiguan 4motion TDi.

I was going to leave the zed offroad and just use it for track days, but I might insure it again and have a limited mileage for the nice weather

how or why have you not fired it up since september~?@!!!

do you not worry about what little damage that may cause?

i must be anal about this, i used to fire my sc zs up every few weeks.

in the winter i even get the petrol lawnmower out once or twice and give that a blast for 10-15 mins.
