Hi All,
I'm planning to put my rover to bed for the summer, in the next month or so. I want to keep the miles down on the vehicle, and i have an old convertible that i will use, hopefully to take advantage of any shred of summer weather we shall get here in the UK!
The rover will be parked on my drive in front of the house. The car will be parked 'nose up' - the drive slopes by about 20 degrees.
In the last month, it has had a full engine and transfer box service, and the oils have been changed in the diffs. I've done 1,000 miles since then.
I had only planned to start the car and run it for 20 minutes , once a week, maybe rolling it off the drive to make sure the brakes don't seize up.
I'm not planning to put the car back on the road till next october.
Are there any other checks / weekly activities I should be carrying out to ensure that I've still got a tip-top motor come October ?
Thanks for any help or advice you can offer
