How To Care For Unused Cars
与大多数英国人住在自己家中可预见的将来，全国各地的汽车可能会很长一段时间坐在使用。
缺乏使用可能造成永久的损害到您的车辆，当谈到存储的存储它拿走任何显著的时间是必要的，以确保该车充分的准备，以避免任何问题出来之前。
这就是为什么Euro Car Parts提供了关于如何照顾你的车，当它离开公路五个提示。
1.保护其免受恶劣天气
这是一个好主意，让你的车，如果它不会被用于长时间从元素保护，这是对老年人或老爷车尤其如此。这是一些提示：
- 公园免费潮湿的环境
如果可能的话，停车车库将保护爱车免受暴露于恶劣天气的破坏。当停车车库，确保它是从湿度自由和潮湿，因为这会腐蚀车漆等原因模具。
- 使用车罩
If you are unable to park in a garage, try covering your car with a model-specific car cover to protect it from rain and sunlight, which can cause the paintwork to fade.
2.清洁之前存储
存储你的车前，这是一个好主意，给它洗，以防止污垢从建立和损坏车漆。
Remember to clean the tyres, as they tend to hold on to grease, as well as brake shavings and mud which can all cause damage over time, so be sure to clean these thoroughly at the end of the wash.
Rinse the car with free-flowing water before drying with a soft leather chamois or soft microfibre towel and finish with a good quality wax.
3.保护内部
Remember to clean the interior of your car if it’s going to be left for a long time. Organic debris such as food can rot over time, which at the very least means you’ll be returning to a bad smell, and in some extreme cases can cause damage to your car’s interior.
If your car has leather or coated fabrics, wipe dust away with a dry cloth regularly and for a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and gentle soap to rub the fabric down. Always soak up any leftover moisture with a dry cloth afterwards.
For other fabric seats, be sure to vacuum the material to prevent dust accumulation and never use harsh chemicals or household laundry soaps as these can cause discolouration. When getting out a stain, detergents and solvents can be used to get the mark out, but be careful to not use too much water as moisture can lead to damp and musty odours.
4.注意观察机制
It might sound counterintuitive, but try to avoid storing your car with the handbrake on. If left for too long the brakes can fuse or become damaged. A much better alternative is to purchase chocks and place them behind the car’s wheels to prevent it from moving.
If you don’t plan on using the car at all for more than 30 days, then it might be a good idea to remove the car’s wheels entirely and jack it up, one on each corner. This is because a car which is left stationary for long periods of time may develop flat spots on its tyres, due to the car’s weight not being well distributed. Although this may sound like a lot of work, you may have to replace your tyres if the flat spots are deemed to be serious.
如果你不决定删除车轮，保证每个轮胎完全充气，减少平点开发的风险。
Finally, keep your fuel tank as full as possible to prevent rusting or condensation forming inside the tank. Check engine fluids such as coolant, to prevent the engine from freezing on colder nights.
5. Turn it over
Leaving your car for long periods of time without driving it can cause the battery to run flat and damage the internal mechanics.
如果情况允许，一个很好的方式，以避免这种情况是开始你的车，驾驶，每两个星期左右约15分钟。这将防止电池去平，将有助于润滑发动机。如果这是不可能开车，然后简单地启动发动机，并让它运行15分钟，将有助于确保电池保持其充电。
