==Brakes==

If left unused for prolonged periods of time the brake pads and discs can bind together.

To avoid this, ensure the brakes are dry and leave the car parked in gear with the handbrake off and chocks under the wheels to keep the car in position. These can be picked up quite cheaply from places like Halfords.

You may want to just rocked the car backwards and forwards a bit every couple of days for the first week or two to ensure the pads don't bind to the discs.

Do not spray the brake discs with WD40, while this may prevent them from rusting and the pads from sticking it will also render the brakes useless when you next need them and will likely necessitate a change of brake pads and discs.
