I've had my cars in storage this winter and part of the deal was to put the cars in Carcoons, which are very similar. In five months they have stayed in excellent condition and very clean, There are two fans at one end that blow air constantly into the Carcoon to keep it inflated and these have foam...

It seems that around 90,000 kms is the norm. My 400 is just beginning to get noisey , with no adjustment left, at 58,000 miles which is around 93,000kms.

You need to screw in a 8mm bolt (spanner size for the bolt head, not thread size) to screw into the pin. Then use a pair of pl...
