I've not driven my car for any distance longer than the driveway for the past 7 weeks. Last weekend I took it out and turned on the headlights and both bulbs went immediately lol. Anything else I should worry about with regards to leaving the car for long periods of time? I miss driving it :(

lol. fortunately no. I've just not been needing to use the car anymore... questioning the feasibility of keeping it now. I've been thinking of getting a scooter :S

very wise if that is all you need.

Honestly both our Mini's hardly turned a wheel as they were just to impractical for every day use. Since getting the Audi it had been used every day. A lot more dog cage friendly.:D :D

Well obviously you ain't gonna use it if you're living in Glasgow and you got it parked up in Dundee. Take it to Glasgow, ain't nobody gonna nick it ;) lol

If you can, don't leave the handbrake on for that length of time, it'll only stretch the cable and possibly bind the pads onto the disk
