Hey,
As most of you might or might not know, i lost my licence for 3 months, and so the car is in the garage for 3 months. What do most of you recommend i do? What do most people do when they go overseas for more then 2 months? Should i start the car and let it run, or should i rev it, or just leave it off?

I would start it once or twice a week, leave it running for about 10 mins, check fluids & tyre pressures when you drive it again.
Good luck. |

Meh, I left my AU for 5 months while on an extended field exercise. Came back, started her up and had a smoke then drove to the petrol station to fill up and checked the tyre pressures while i was there. Started first go and no worries at all.

I dont know if it matters all that much with modern cars these days really.... If youre really worried just get someone to drive it now and then...
