I need to take the Corsa off the road for 6 - 12 months while i get money together to pay a few large bills on my flat. I'd love to continue tinkering with it for now but i need to throw that money else where.

It's going to be sat on the driveway as i don't really have funds to rent a garage. Is there a good way of storing this or just a matter of parking it up and when i come to move it, charge battery and some fresh fuel?

It's a corsa. If you don't want it just sell it.

It will be fine. Disconnect the battery and either buy a trickle charger or charge it every couple or weeks.

Then either jack it up or rotate the tyres every month or so to stop flat spots.

I've left my cars for months without touching them and they've been fine. Maybe start it up now and then and give it a run.

Out of interest what have you been doing to your corsa? Don't think I've seen anything of it.

If its a 1.3 CDTi he will mean fixing not tinkering.

Is this the same one that you sold and then they turned up 3hrs later for their money back?

I see no reason why anyone would want to keep a 1.3 corsa off the road to pay debts when the car can be sold.

Have any of your threads ever been on topic?

Seriously would like to know about this corsa though. Is it standard? Is there any reason why you are keeping it, genuine question.

Probably because you post retarded things...

Someone bought it then brought it back im imagining down to an issue

You cant sell it so are pretending its by choice and parking it up to lose yet more value

Just fix it and sell it
