Going away for 2-3months. Dos/Donts for Maintaining the car?

dh58 · 07-17-2011, 05:23 AM

I'm going away for 2-3 months and am going to garage my car. Is there anything I should do/not do to keep it maintained etc while I'm gone?

2-3 months isn't really very long. I wouldn't worry about it. I couldn't drive my MINI for a few months due to illness once, and it didn't move in the whole time. started first go and drove fine when I was able to drive it again.

I couldn't drive my 135 for 13 weeks with a broken bone in my foot, it started just fine first time.
