Drain, flush, fill, monitor. That's my advice.

Very glad to hear it's coming out of hibernation though

I can't recall what colour the coolant was I got from Honda but I had a similar situation, LLL. Couldn't see any coolant so went and bought some and must have put about 100 mL in before it was coming back into sight

Bought. lol.. I have bottles of coolant of all colours available. Lots of cars and lots of servicing makes for a full shelf of quarter bottles of lots of stuff.. Turns out it was green. I let some out of the bottom. It was a bit manky though so its going to get a full flush. Topped up about half liter and ran it to temp.

It ran a bit rough once it had warmed up but Rich thought that could be old fuel. Gonna fill a few jerrys with nitro+ and see how that goes. Either that or the intake is a bit gumed up. Carb cleaner going into that. Minor oilleak from somewhere, probably the oil filter sensor sandwich plate? Not had chance to look properly. Its coming from that area. Tiny amount on the floor so a small leak after that much time
It will be getting a general service. Brake fluid, oil, filter etc and we will give it a poke with a sharp stick at Avon park drag track in may.

Got all the mouse shavings out of the boot.... gave it a hoover and a wipe down and its looking about right.

Start of may it is booked in with Rich for a look over and MOT. After that It will be my daily/fun car and it will have a for sale sign in the back.

I wont be actively selling it but it will be for sale. If someone offers me the right money they will be the new owner.
I dont need it as much as I can use the figure in my head but I'm not bothered about selling it cheap.

We shall see.
