Taking Nova off the road

[LukeManic]

I want to take my nova off the road and into a lockup for about 5-6 months, I just want some advice if possible on how to prepare the car for this, eg oil and fuel etc.

Thanks in advance.

I saw on tele a car restoration program.
And it said when storing your car, you should block off all places that lead inside the engine.
I.e. the exhaust, and inlet manifold/carb etc.
As this stops damp getting inside the engine and exhaust system.

I think it also said keep your fuel tank pretty filled up, to prevent moisture in the air inside the fuel tank from rusting the tank inside out.

I don't know if anyone actually bothers doing these things tho, my old astra was garaged for two years.
It started first time with a jump start, and run fine. :wink:

Make sure u take the car out of the garage for a few hours when it is sunny to stop moisture collecting and rusting the bodywork. And never heard about clogging the entrances to the engine but does make sense.
