Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 take the handbrake off leave in gear, give her 3 weeks rest then start her for 10 mis repeat procedure, its not a neccessity to start her but it helps, i sometimes have cars thats on boats for 3+ months doing nothing and when they come they fire up straight away. dont rev the tits off it when u start it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Also remember to move the car backwards and forewards so that (a) you can use your brakes to wear off the oxide layer on your brake discs and (b) you can rest your car on a different part of the tyre as to not cause any permanent deformation of the rubber. Give it a battery re-charge top up every three weeks (depending on how much drain your alarm systems creates you may have to do a re-charge top up every two weeks in the cold eather). I've also put some rust protector on the under-side of mine whilst it will be in winter storage. Its a spray-on water disperser with a waxy type of additive. So it will protect against moisture in the air attacking the suspension and metal parts (even body-work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
