Default 1 turn of the key

Just got reunited after 5+ Jag-less months. I had cylinder wash last year and was hoping not to repeat this time. Well, fired right up, idled a little lumpy, but then settled right down. Went for a short ride to get the rust off the brakes and............no codes!
Top down day tomorrow.

Excellent news! Feels good, right? Hope it's top-down driving for a while for you.

Well mine started up pretty much straight away as well - must be something in the Florida air. Only difference this year was that I've been using Restore - did it make a difference? Don't know but it was the only factor that had changed and the car had stood for another month compared to last year.Hmmmm

I used restore as well. Who knows? I'm not going to argue with a guy called Brutal. Congrats and enjoy both the car and FL! That cyl wash is a PIA, and it gives alot of people a chance to comment on British car reliability as they pass by me in the parking lot, bent over the fender (wing) again.........
