I do not agree with all of them.. What kind of car are you using that would develop problem if you don't start it for a month or two? Thats a myth that's long been busted . If a drone is used to record Lagos metropolis for example, you would observe almost every street is packed with vehicles, how modern houses dey get garage sef in Lagos? That's not realistic... I was actually expecting to read the need to clean your car very well with soap because some persons go don rub am hand while parked outside 2 Likes |

femi4: Thank you very much. Another quick question, how long is appropriate to engage handbrake? |
Re: Coronavirus Lockdown: 5 Care Tips For Your Car by femi4: 7:04am On Apr 03, 2020 |
StPete:As long as the car is being use for day to day activities |

ntyce: Better to "damage the gear" which isn't even proven, than to damage the entire car when it rolls down the slope with the likelihood of causing manifold damages to others. 2 Likes |

fof1: What about the tires? Do you need to jack the car up and remove the four tires or no need? Three months is quite a long time. |

oseiwe: Binding brakes, but I would prefer to park the car on a leveled ground to avoid pressure exertion on the hand brake for a long period of time. |
Re: Coronavirus Lockdown: 5 Care Tips For Your Car by fishjam: 8:24am On Apr 03, 2020 |
Pls can someone tell me the rationale behind NOT Engaging the HandBrake when parked for a long time |
Re: Coronavirus Lockdown: 5 Care Tips For Your Car by masterflowx(m): 8:26am On Apr 03, 2020 |
Thank you Op... I'm going to release the hand break now. Thanks a lot... |
Re: Coronavirus Lockdown: 5 Care Tips For Your Car by PuZZyNegro: 8:34am On Apr 03, 2020 |
cerpvad: Before the lock down, I can stay one week without driving my car. Unless that car is never in good condition. Two weeks of not driving the car should never make the battery to run down. If handbrake is engaged where the car is not in a sloppy area, it's as good as not engaging it as such, there's no pressure on the brake |

murmee: This is also valid |

[s] legalwealth: [/s] Like I stated on your thread, you stole the content from somewhere else and then somebody else did the same to you, so why are you complaining? Karma is real, so just accept it and move on. Next time come up with original content so people would take you seriously. 3 Likes
