Gambit Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 3 years in dry storage wouldn't be a concern to me with 3000 miles. I would be more worried about getting the oil changed and break's/pads checked. But if your worried about it you would not do any harm either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cragside Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 car has not been parked up only done 800 miles since last mot new discs and pads just been fitted told belt should be changed at every 45000 miles or 3 years car has been fully serviced from new at subaru dealer thanks for your previous reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 No problem mate It still wouldn't bother me aslong as it's been stored well. Sat under a tree or on the side of a road I would change it :) But as I said before if you have any dout's best to change it, for own peace of mind.

Jay762 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would also check the brake calipers for the pistons being free - although the discs and pads are new - if it has been stood / used intermittantly, particularly with handbrake on, it is easy for a piston to sieze.
