Assuming you havent done so alreadt, change the oil, filters etc. Possibly take it easy for a while before you give it some serios stick. It may be worth giving it a dam good going over while its still out of the car, gaskets etc and other things that are a pain to do while its in the car.

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

I'd change the oil and filter (cheap oil) warm it up then flush it and change the oil for kwalitee oil and a new filter again, same with the coolant, whilst its warm pump the water everywhere then back flush whilst draining! obviously it'll need plugs!

I am suprised at people destroying these lumps..... mine takes hell and all abuse and touch wood is all ok!
