How should I store my Volvo automatic for four weeks?
Having read your advice on three months' storage, could you say which of the points are really necessary for an 11-year-old Volvo auto that will be garaged for four weeks, please?

Hook it up to a battery conditioning trickle charger because an 11-year-old will probably have a fairly weak battery and all sorts of electrical draindowns from ageing electrics. Take it for a 15-mile dry run immediately before you put it away. Do not put it away wet.
