How Often to Start a Car in Storage
#35
To store the car in a garage? (i didn't read the post :p )

Put on axle stands
Brim the tank to prevent ingress of water into the diesel through condensation
do a coolant and oil change
Don't start the car, or if you must no less than every 6 months. Can cause more harm than good to keep starting a car without driving it.

If the engine and everything is in good condition when you store it, there shouldn't be any problem when it comes to putting it back on the road.

Saying that, I've never driven my Jag on the road legally, and I always give it a start every 6 months or so. In fact, I've not done that for about 8 months haha. It's petrol though, so it's different when it gets so much carbon build up due to sitting idling.
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
