Out of interest, what problems did you have that were attributed specifically to not being used for 6 months at a time?

One fault was a snapped rear spring, as they go brittle in the cold weather and not used, I had to tax it to take it for a new rear spring ti be fitted, it cost about 600 quid including tax to drive it 20 miles, then out it back in the garage.
The other problem was an oil pipe went dry on something and I think the water pump pulley broke....all due to not being driven enough. Another couple on £000s.
All the faults came when it was stored.
It was started but obviously not enough.

Since then I've used all my R230s and R231s all through the year and it's always worked out cheap....and more fun

Sorry, I can't edit my posts to correct my spelling/autocorrect mistakes :confused:
 
I drove back from Devon last week averaged 62 mph and 31mpg. The average over 17,589 miles though is 21.7 mpg...
