Laying up a car for extended periods - anything I've forgotten?
My Honda CRV is kept in South Africa, and used 3-4 months of the year. Maintenance charging is not an option, so during storage I intend to:
(1) Use nitrogen in the tyres and pump up to fully laden pressures
(2) A friend will take the car for a 20 km run once a month.
Anything else I should do, please?

What you propose makes sense. Probably better to cover it while stored.
