Editing Winter storage (section)

==Engine==

Spray over the engine with WD40 or a similar silicone spray to inhibit corrosion and reduce the likelihood of water building up in places such as the spark plugs and distributor cap.

You may also wish to mark the engine coolant level in the bottle in the engine bay so you can check it hasn't dropped significantly before returning the car to the road.

Avoid the temptation to start the car while it is in storage. The engine oil will take time to come up to temperature and build pressure, and unless you're going to run the car fully up to temperature you will get condensation forming which will mix with the oil and do more harm than good.
