    Default Storing VZ Adventra for 3 Months at a Time??

    I work away 9 months a year, and every 3 months I have to park the wagon up in storage for 12 weeks at a time. Is there anything I need to do, or does anyone recommend any advice for storage?. Its at the relatives and yes i took a photo of the speedo before I left. I can't see them using it ( unike my mates who would send me pics of the Adventra parked up under Ayres Rock or similar, ) but they did say they would start it once a week and leave it running for 5-10Mins.
    Will my tyres be shagged when i return??

    Dunno about your tyres being shagged but if u are concerned get a set of 4 Chassie stands and put it on these so the tyres are off the ground, added bonus too much trouble to take it off to go for a spin...

    Yep agreed.. Stick it on stands, lock it up tight and stick a smart/pulse charger on the battery. No point starting it up for that time ect. Let it have a rest.
    Cheers,
