Exercising DB7

[jmsgld]

My neighbour keeps a DB7 garaged for 4+ months at a time whilst he is away, and has been having problems associated with long periods standing - tyres, battery when trickle failed etc..

He has named me on the insurance and asked that I exercise it regularly, he has suggested 10 miles or so every 3 weeks.

Does this sound like enough? Purely in the interests of mechanical sympathy what would be opinions on the optimal amount of running during extended periods of activity?

Is there anything else that I should be doing; how long will fuel sit for happily?

Many thanks,

James

Excellent, 10 mins of oil up to temp sounds more sensible, and more fun!

The battery is on a trickle, and was replaced recently so shouldn't be an issue...

Just got to wait for the garage to fix the air con now... and hopefully will have some nice weather.

Thanks again, James

Thanks for all the replies, v. useful. It's the I6 rather than the Vantage... Still waiting for the air-con to be fixed sadly.
