Which way to park?

Post Mon Sep 09, 2019 7:39 pm

Not sure if mentioned before?
I have a inclined drive, and until I can clear the garage out, which way is best to park it?
It has a sunroof, so does the position of the drain holes make a difference?

Nose facing down or up?
I currently have her nose up.

Easier to just pull out on to the road than to reverse on to the road.

If this is a steep drive then what about the oil pick up pipe ? Old car and all that ?

Sunroof has drains front and rear, so no difference there. Only think I can think of, is that if parked steeply downwards, water will collect in the channel at the rear of the boot and could leak into the boot.

Thanks for the replies. Thought it would be best to check.

The Jaguar X type had a problem with this. If you parked them front lower than rear the cills could fill with water - never ideal! As said above most cars drain in multi directions though the drainage is always designed to work when the car is in motion and therefore water runs to the back.
