    Make sure your tyres are fully inflated. Leaving them in one spot when slightly deflated can cause them to flatspot.

    Pop the bonnet before locking the car and hook some good VB cord around the bonnet catch, if the battery does go flat you pull the cord to pop the bonnet, replace battery and go. It can't hurt using stands / bricks, stop the tyres becoming disstorted from sitting for a while.
