Right so my 306 has been parked for over 2 months as I've been driving my other car.
I'm thinking of putting it back on the road again but wanted an opinion on what things to check on a car which has been parked for a while.
So far what I've done is:
Checked oil and all other fluids
Checked tyre preasure
Jump started the car and left it running for around half an hour to get some charge in the battery
Before I start driving it properly it is getting treated to a full service including timing belt.
The main issue I have is a seized rear brake I know I should have left the hand brake off but I wasn't expecting it to sit there for so long.
Anything else that you guys recommend checking? It is running pretty sweet apart from the siezed brake. At first the power felt pretty flat as if there was turbo related problems but that seems to be ok now too after giving it a good drive (this could be because I'm used to an e320 merc and could be all in my head lol).
Oh the gears seem very stiff especially from 1st to 2nd could this be due to it being parked for some time
