Short answer probably is nothing for a short time lol

But I'm OCD about my car, so I'm wondering what to do?
This is what I have planned:

• clean car
• dry
• car cover (just brought)
• store in garage
• cover up intakes
• cover up exhaust
• inflat tyre to slightly higher pressure
• alarm car
• alarm car twice
• alarm house
• cctv house

Have i missed anything?!

Read that you should leave a small window gap open?

Cheers

for 2 weeks, nothing....

why on earth cover up the intakes and exhaust?

i would not use a car cover in a garage, unless its a detached, leaky, dank garage. (and even then, the cover is just going to harbour moisture.)

alarming everything might be a good idea :P

2 weeks? :O

You can't be for real....


I parked mine up for a month when i went to barbados - just washed it dried it & put it in the garage & forgot about it- and i'm extremley OCD.

Maybe the list you've put if you were storing it for a year plus!!!

Haha yeah agree with others 2 weeks is nothing to worry about at all...

As above it wouldn't do anything, wash, dry it and stick it in a garage if you have access to one. Mine often sits around on the drive for weeks if I'm playing with my other toys 😁

Definitely See A Doctor Lol

Lol.

As others have said: wash/dry, assuming it will be garaged I wouldn't bother with a cover but if you have one then it doesn't hurt. I would be wary of locking and arming the car's alarm as it does slowly drain the battery, and it might drain it enough to be a problem after two weeks (I know my M5 does this after only 7 or 8 days of no use). You can avoid this with a trickle charger. None of the rest is necessary.

I've been storing cars for 8 months on end sometimes, 2 weeks is nothing.

For peace of mind, fit a Tracker then you can call the car whenever you like to check where it is!

Just fitted one to mine. For £25 you can't go wrong.

You forgot to turn on the anti static air purifier

[gaza01]

Put it into perspective...if yr car cant sit for 2 weeks do you really want to own it????? Lol

Why not link up a web cam to your iPhone or something so you can keep your eye on it

[jammy78]

I'll babysit it for you!

[oliyaoe93]

LOOOL at the replies... but yh thats defo OCD to another level. I know we all absolutely love our cars

[Kassim786]

Loooool at the "see a doctor" comment

But jokes aside nothing really that you need to do. I went away for 4 weeks and didn't need nothing no trickle charge etc


1) park it safe
2) just give it a wash so when you're back you can admire you're beauty

[Digitalize]

Nothing.
