Hi

I'm new to the forum, but just has a quick question. I have a 2009 eco flex vauxhall corsa, I've had the car for 4 years now, but for just over a year I had a company car so had no use for the Corsa so it was sat in my car for about 15 months and I didn't start the car for the whole time. At the start I just forgot to start it up every so often, but then I misplaced my only key. Anyways fast forward to now I need to use the car, but I'm not sure if the car is going to be totally ruined now I haven't started it up/used it. Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Try it & see.

New/borrowed battery.

Remove spark plugs.

Turn it over for a bit to get oil pressure into the engine.

Replace plugs.

Give it a go.

Unless it was garaged it is likely that brake discs/pads would be seized together.
