Rock bottom!!!
« on: 14 December 2009, 14:57:53 »

 You know you've hit rock bottom when you need to borrow money of the mother-in-law--see p'eed of post for reasons.

Further to that I now need to put the car in storage, well me dads drive and declare SORN to DVLA and cancel insurance.

 Are there any precautions I should take regarding storing, mechanical, electrical etc.

Also further to Nickbats post about the web--they are doing a pretty good job of limiting my access to the net by f***ing up the economy and screwing me out of work so causing me to have no b**tard cash to pay the fascist corparate money grabbers(energy,telecom suppliers) their freeking pound of flesh!!!.

Pardon my language but I'm somewhat miffed. >:( >:( >:( >:(

If it is possible park your vehicle with the handbrake off,drain most of the fuel,disconnect the battery and once a week reconnect and restart the engine.Also move the vehicle up and down the drive to make sure nothing is binding and the tyres don't mis-shape due to being stored in the same place.Hope that helps. :y

I would not advise starting the engine of a laid-up car. It only blows a load of water vapour and acidic by-products into the exhaust system and crankcase and, with no decent heat getting into it to boil these off they will do damage.

Add a tea spoon or two of oil into each bore and turn it over a few times, then replace the spark plugs and leave the engine. It will be fine.
