Hi Guys, back again after a long absence lol.
I have now had this Terrano (my second) for five years,and in that time I have had virtually trouble free motoring, apart from the starter motor going.
But now there are so many problems looming (Rust , drop links, handbrake cables, tyres,alarm and key codes,sunroof,and the list go's on) That I have decided because I am too tight to pay to have it repaired by a garage and I haven't got the time to do it myself, The car will soon be no longer a viable road going vehicle.
But I want to keep her for some time in the future when I do have the time.
So I am going to store her in my friends Barn. Bearing in mind it could be there for 2-5 years before I am fully retired and have time to do things.
what would you recommend I do to prevent any further deterioration while stored.
