Off the road for 3 months :(

Hi guys

 

The car has been off the road for 3 months but as of next week I'll be putting it through an MOT and getting it taxed.

 

Couple of questions though... I was going to give it a service before I take it in for its MOT, am going to change plugs, oil and filter, fuel filter, plugs and distributor cap. Anything else you would advise considering the length of time it has been sat idle?

 

Also I found this site http://www.japanesecarimports.net they seem reasonable for service parts but has anyone bought from them before? I notice they also have an ebay shop.

 

Cheers

The brake discs will probably be a bit rusty... take it easy as the brakes will be useless at the first couple of attempts;)

 

Make sure the oil has circulated properly all round and is upto good temp before any boost. I usually give it an extra 10-15 mins on top of normal temp.

 

Ensure all wheel nuts are tight (if you've been swapping wheels around).

 

That'll do for now I think... :blink:

 

ps: I also take it easy until I have some fresh V-Power, although prob not necessary but I like to be on the safe side.
