Default Preventative Maintenance

Hi,

This is my first post, I'm from Scotland and drive a Guards Red 981 and make videos about driving it and owning it. Hoping to learn more about the car in here as it seems like a more technical forum and that's mostly what I enjoy reading about.

wanted to share this video I made about preventative maintenance. Let me know if you have any ideas or alternatives suggestions on these issues.

Very informative particularly the weep holes for the convertible top.

Thanks for the video. I noticed you run the normal mode on your CTEK. Any reason why you chose that, vs. the Snowflake mode that some people here recommend for AGM batteries?

Thanks for watching, my understanding is that the snowflake mode will help charge the AGM battery faster than normal mode, my charger is being used just to conserve power in the summer months so thought that would be sufficient.

If I was plugging it in for the first time in a while then the snowflake mode is what I would use.
