This will be my first winter with the cossie. I only plan to take it out on very dry days to keep everything lubricated etc. Can anybody offer advice for things I should do to stop potential problems once next spring comes.

The car is garaged, and I currently leave it parked in gear with the handbrake off and a chuck against each tyre to stop it moving.

Anything else I should be doing???

Thanks in advance.

 

anything else you'll need to do??

yep wait for it to snow, then go out in it and find a large empty carpark

 

thats not fair, dont get snow in australia

 

sooooooo true, mines coming out as soon as thers snow

 

 

Wax Oil it!!

 

make sure the heater work mine failed in the safe when it was snowing in norwich last year fuck me that was cold

and drive it car dont need babysitting
change the part for wear not because there unused !!

 

my car gets put up over winter every year, i would get it on axel stands if ya can to stop the tyres deforming, but befor you do give it a good clean and wax, vac and then a small run to clear sitting water, get a battery conditioner and if you can get a dehumidifier ( worth there weight in gold for winter storage ) once or twice a month run it up to temp and run it slow in gear ( make sure it cant move and the wheels are off / off the ground ) and bring it on boost using the brakes..... it may sound a bit much but change the oil befor you put it back on the road and it will be as good as when you took it off....

best of luck

 

give it a good coat of wax to stop the frost geting at it put some airfreshener in side to stop it smelling of damp start the car once a week
and keep the battery charged if you are not going to use the car at all
by a battery conditioner it stops it going flat

 

Thanks, this was the kind of stuff I was looking for

 

Again, thanks a lot mate
