Puma put into storage

[fefu17]

Sad times but finally convinced myself that it does not make sense to keep paying an annual road license of 530 euro (Maltese tax regime for cars registered/imported after 2009 based on emissions and age). At the same time, they are not worth much at the moment, so decided to return the plates and put in the garage.

Last day at work:

As a new daily, I bought this french cabby...my first non-ford. It's been 6 months now and I can't really complain...looks good, comfy, economical, reliable, 180 euro license, 0 rust, ok performance and handling. Driving experience is obviously no match for the puma but everything seems more fun with the top down...

Was wondering whether there was anything I should do/look out for in particular given the lack of use...Battery is on trickle charger...I run the engine for a few minutes and switch on the a/c every now and then...

Leave the handbrake off or it might get stuck on?

Leave the windows open a little so interior won't smell?

If it was me i'd put it on stands and remove the wheels to stop the tyres getting damaged from going flat, releasing the handbrake is a good shout.

Change the oil on the engine or the contaminants in the oil will damage the gaskets etc.

That's my 2p anyways lol.
