Tyre flat spots

[rorywquin]

Is it an issue while our cars are parked up?

Tyresavers are relatively cheap ......

No, it's not an issue unless they're seriously under inflated and for an extended period of months

Taking advantage of this restricted travel to sorn the E class for a month or two depending on lockdowns or holidays ?.

I used to have a couple of ex military Forward Control land Rovers.
Leave them a month and drive them it was like they had square wheels.
10-15 miles worth of heat in them and back to nice and smooth again (or as smooth as they would ever be).

I’ve just noticed your user pic hasn’t changed for a week now as I’m getting used to it . Must be time for another change

Why don’t you just start up the car , run round the block then back every day? Short journey, no one at risk ,no problem really ?
I have to use either car every 2-3 days still as I have a family of 5 and a dog and no way on earth to get food delivered so I’ve no choice - can’t see the difference really ?

SORN. Not sure why I did it my Yorkshire neighbour was going on at me saying it was a good idea. I did mine. He still has not done his 2nd car.

Like driving them in Germany in the winter in -20C's. The old cross ply tyres rock hard, & no heaters.

Mine had absolutely superb heaters.
The ambulance had a 4kW petrol powered one in the cab with a 4" pipe ducting air into the back. Toastie!

Oh I don't know...
Was in the ambulance on one occasion (it was a LHD one previously based in Gütersloh) sitting at the traffic lights when two stunning young ladies in a convertible pulled up next to us. They looked over and the one in the drivers seat smiled and said "That's a really cool car". Only car I've ever had that's elicited such a positive response from the fairer sex.
I should probably point out it was being used as a wedding car for a mate so was all done out with ribbons etc and we were fully suited and booted.
