Had a look under the car cover today. The first time I have left my car outside over winter and i was gob smacked at the oxidisation in the engine bay. Hopefully no electrics will be effected. Even the leather is mouldy@

I'm waiting delivery of a tube heater which i'll leave switched on in the engine bay until he goes back into the garage. Also pulled the cover off the bonnet

I keep a can of Damprid in all my stored cars. It absorbs the moisture in closed spaces. works really well. Im sure there must be more products like it available in the uk
