Nah , nothing need doing as you are only away for 2 weeks. I have left my cars for 3 or 4 weeks in the past and they are fine on my return . Obviously the hand brake can stick a bit but has always immediatley free off when the car is first moved slightly.

I recently left mine for 5 weeks while i was away and had no troubles at all . Apart from the already stated brake issues which cannot be helped .

Thanks mark, peace of mind really :d

Try not to yank the handbrake on too hard if you can, may help the sticking issue. (dont park it on a steep hill though :D:D)

If I was leaving the car whilst going on holiday I would disable it in more than one way so it's still there when you get back. ;)

I suppose taking the ECU out of the passanger footwell would do the trick

Yep just what I was thinking do everything you can to make sure its not driven anywhere!

Also I'd leave it in gear ( or park ) with the handbrake off or at least on only the first click or 2 if youre on a relatively flat piece of road, handbrakes stick on so easily.
