Well our so called summer is almost at an end and with my tax reminder coming through the post this week I have till the end of the month till the Cossie goes into storage for the winter. Just wondering if theres anything I should disconnect or any other prepping I need to do to her for the hibernation. I will try to start it as often as I can and may take it for a spin on any half decent dry days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Disconnect the battery (or just the live feed)
Jack it up so the tyres dont flatten. Or if you felt rich enough...get a local engineering shop to knock up some stands for you, so you can take off the wheels and bolt the stands to your hubs. Will save your tyres, and could double up as axle stand type car raisers, should you get a spirited idea to give your underside a little tidy up/clean/painting/touching up etc!
If its cold dry storage, leave a dehumidifer in the boot and one inside the actual car too
If its warm dry storage, leave the windows open the sightest wee bit, to let it vent
Dont leave your handbrake on
Pull random electrical sensors, fuses, relays or parts off the car if the storage is far enough away from your house (incase scum get wind of your car and thats its stored up at a location - they might attempt theft)
