It alive and well! Two hours scrubbing, a full can of degreaser and pretty much a full bottle of fairy and the tyre felt kinna sticky again. New oil and fired her up, sounded fine idling (actually better than usual - new spark plugs too). Took her out for about 2hrs in the glorious sunshine and all seems well!

Roll on next week
