Sandy-m2 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 looking for a detailed list of actions that you should take to get your car back up and running after its been off the road or in storage for 6 + months. Hope someone can help S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 i think you might need to flush the fluids and refill with fresh, and probably new battery, check alternator works properly and check your brakes. thats basic but im sure someone else will let u know anything else.

grahamc Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What sort of things did you do to prep the car for storage? The reason I ask, is that mine is about to stand for the 6 months, and I have got a load of things that I need to do in order to prep the car.

TLicense Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Did you have it on stands, or just sat on the tyres? I think tyres can go out of round after having the weight just in one place for a long time? Not sure, I'm sure if you ask someone like Jake, he'll be able to confirm.
