I find giving the brakes a good blow out with one of these gets rid of any moisture on the brakes. It also does a good job of removing water from behind trims and door shuts.

But when you drive through a puddle you are A, Driving so your brakes should be hot! & B, when you wash your car, you stick a hosepipe through the spokes of your wheel to wash them!

Leave the car standing after washing it and the brake surfaces will rust and after a week or 12 without driving it and you may have some issues! Whistle Whistle Rolling Eyes

How about spraying the discs with WD40 or Spray Grease?
Any thoughts on pumping tyres up to 50psi to prevent flat spots?? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I just started mine (no problem) and drove it back and forth on the drive. Being as most RRs are auto and I have a level drive I pretty much always just leave it in Park and have no trouble with sticking brakes. Geoff

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Supercharged 5.0 SC V8 Stornoway Grey

Mine ran fine today after ~2.5 weeks, which is pretty much it's usual duty cycle as it normally gets used every other weekend, but was only a fairly short journey so won't have completely charged the battery.

All this lay up talk has got me seriously considering finally purchasing a CTEK charger (which I have admired many times!), not just for this, but to use on various other cars and boats as well, as we only have a bunch of fairly ancient and low powered 12V chargers.

My msx10 is plugged into the Bmw. But the 405 is fine.

Put the old-new battery I bought for the 322 in the 405 yesterday. All seems fine except for a call from Lr incontrol telling me I’d disconnected the battery....... Thud There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

All ordered last night and should be with me on Thursday!

Yep, I had exactly the same thinking - if buying an expensive CTEK, I thought I might as well buy the 10 amp one, so I can have as a power supply when using the IID as well. Will hopefully last a good few years.

Once it arrives and I've had a play with it, will see if I want any extra quick connect leads for other cars/boats. I assume like others on here I'll probably put a quick connect on the L322.

The CTEK MXS-10 arrived yesterday, pretty quick delivery from Amazon in the current climate.

Given I was working and didn't have time to wire it in to the L322, for an initial test I just used the croc clips on a boat in the garage, and it took maybe 4 hours to fully charge that and move into Float/Level 7. I then decided to put it on my Series 1 107" using the croc clips again, and give that battery a recondition cycle as well, as the 107" still uses the original generator, which isn't the best at really charging the battery properly. It was still going after 3 hours, so I left it working away overnight, but this morning happily sitting on Float/Level 7.

Wired in the provided permanent lead to my 5.0 S/C first thing this morning, and ~4 hours took that to Float/Level 7 too. For now the connector is just under the windscreen, but need to look at whether a CTEK extension would let me route it elsewhere, towards the front grill perhaps.

Need to charge a few more things now!
