Storing the car

[V6GTO]

I'm coming back to the UK for about 6 weeks and, allthough it pains me, I'll have to leave the Noble here. Apart from disconnecting the battery and putting the cover on, are there any must-do things for a 6 week hibernation? Thanks in advance.

Get a HUGE dog and keep him in your garage as your alarm wont be functioning.

You cannot be serious Martin - bring it back - after all, you a wealthy man!

Interesting point. Is it really better to disconnect the battery than to leave it on trickle-charger?

Trickle charger not an option.

The car will be on blocks with the wheel in the apartment!

Martin,

From experience, I have left mine with battery connected and trickle charger running for 2 - 3 months during winter up here in the North East. Locked and alarmed. No problems when staring up. Gentle tick over when first started up to get oil circulated.

Battery can still loose charge even when not connected.

What's your duty free allowance Martin?

Cheers,
Ian.

Is your immobiliser not working? or is this just the best form of theft deterrent you've come across (what with wheels costing almost as much as the car!)

A very unique Spanish custom - the removal of one road wheel securley placed it your appartment!

That was supposed to read 'wheels', plural! All 4 are coming off!
