Having seen my first gritting truck on the roads yesterday I've decided to put my, fairly recently acquired, Cerb into my garage for winter. Two reason for this - firstly I've spotted some bare patches on the frame so this needs some attention and secondly after having experienced going sideways down a wet road at 70mph I realise that it is not the best in winter conditions.

Anyway - the reason for my post is to see what you all think I should consider when parking the car up for a considerable period of time (probably 5 months in Scotland!!!)

When I bought the car it seemed almost as if the wheel balancing needed to be done - however after having run the car for about 1000 miles I no longer get the vibration - I know that the previous owner hardly ever had the car out so wondered whether this was due to "flat spot". I've got the car on trickle charger but wondered about starting the car once per week and moving it to change the position of the tyres. I'm planning on doing some work but I'm not sure how far to go - currently thinking about pulling the suspension apart to check all bushes etc.
