Just thought I would post up my efforts at looking after the car over the winter
Think I have just about got it sussed protecting the car.
The car is garaged but concrete garage so can get pretty damp, have seen the dampness creeping up the side of the cars.
So time for action, bought a dehumidifier, it has made a significant difference to the car and when you go in to the garage you can feel its not damp
Bought a tubular heater which is mounted to a strip of 2x4 sits under the engine with the thermostat turned right back, kicks in only when really cold and protects the engine.
Solar panels with voltage regulator, great bit of kit just sits there trickle charging the battery over the winter, keeps it in tip top condition
Stormforce breathable cover, keeps the dust off and holds the heat when the tubular heater kicks in
Does anyone else have any ideas for overwinter protection?
