markjodrell Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is there anything i would need to do i.e. disconnect battery, as im going away for 2 weeks? cheers Nah , nothing need doing as you are only away for 2 weeks. I have left my cars for 3 or 4 weeks in the past and they are fine on my return . Obviously the hand brake can stick a bit but has always immediatley free off when the car is first moved slightly.

Matt _Aero top_ Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I recently left mine for 5 weeks while i was away and had no troubles at all . Apart from the already stated brake issues which cannot be helped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjodrell Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Try not to yank the handbrake on too hard if you can, may help the sticking issue. (dont park it on a steep hill though :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If I was leaving the car whilst going on holiday I would disable it in more than one way so it's still there when you get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose taking the ECU out of the passanger footwell would do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 If I was leaving the car whilst going on holiday I would disable it in more than one way so it's still there when you get back. i normally take a few bits out, one being the ignitor and a picture of myself as they may not be able to resist once they see me! Could put a pic of havard in as a deterant though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep just what I was thinking do everything you can to make sure its not driven anywhere! Also I'd leave it in gear ( or park ) with the handbrake off or at least on only the first click or 2 if youre on a relatively flat piece of road, handbrakes stick on so easily.
