hi all , moved overseas and wanna put my 80 series turbo deisel cruiser in storage, it wont be driven at all.
please help with some tips on preserving the car, ie dropping oil and fuel , are they nesecary and what should i do before driving it again in the future.
selling isnt an option and don't want anyone else driving it every week or month for me.
what parts of the engine can i remove to stop the car from being driven by anyone, ie remove batteries, but what else.
thanks in advance
ben

How long are you planning on leaving it in storage?
Selling isnt an option? Why? If your storing it for a year selling it would make the most sense.. You wont be able to
check for rust, corrosion, theft etc while your not there.
Nobody else to drive or start it, then thats the battery gone to start with..
What can you remove??
Is it petrol or diesel? Auto or Manual, all makes a difference.
