Mini storage question

QUESTION:

Mini storage question I have a 1990 Mini Cooper S, and I am off away for a few months (about 3), I am going to store my car in the garage, before I do has anyone got any suggestions or tips to preperation of the car as its not going to be used for so long. The car is running fine at the moment and would like to keep it thant way if possible.

ANSWER:

I had my mini stored for around 10 years on and off and all I did to it everytime was put it up on axel stands, disconnect the battery, pop the radiator cap ( winter only but not needed if you have plenty of antifreeze ), leave the brakes OFF and open the windows a fraction for air circulation. It was only after 5 years did the mice find a home in the webber bulkhead box and eat all my silicone ignition leads those hungry little s. So you should have no probs just parking it (Breaks OFF), disconnecting the battery and all should be fine on your return.
