taking her off the road

[noney82]

i need to do some work on the beema so iv let the mot run out, so my question to you all is whats the best thing to do when leaving a car stood for a while. i mean like should i drain the oil, water etc. iv bought a replacement runner to get me about, (a nova "he says quietly")

thanks all

How long is a while?

Will she still be drivable, or start-able?

The nova probably won't last long, so don't leave it too long!!

[noney82]

lol i know what you mean about the nova, id say a few months, im replacing the front legs, steering rack, and some body work alloys refurbish some rear bushes, maybe a full spray and i need to finish preping and spray my tech 2 kit oh and want to dye carpet black think thats everything

thank you firefly, why the full tank of fuel white?

Think it's to do with condensation and ending up with water in your fuel.
