 Keeping the car ticking over during isolation - henry k
With the prospect of my car sitting in the drive for three months what can / should I do to
reduce any affects from no use?

Unlike leaving it and going on holiday for three months I do have the opportunity to give it a little TLC.
I cannot drive it out of my drive and down the street.
I can only move it a few feet back or forwards.

The one year old battery can easily be kept charged.

The car can be started, warmed up and moved enough to clean the disks a little.

My son could take it for a drive, say once a fortnight and me avoid it for a week afterwards ?
He is insured to drive it as a back up if needs be so I will not SORN it.

Apart from " forget it! It will survive " any other thoughts?
