Winter storage UK
Winter storage advice UK.
Hi All, Looking for some advice and tips on storing my SC430 over winter in an unheated, no electric, garage.
First I have waterproofed the garage roof and hung a tarpaulin under the roof to collect condensation drips.
I plan to inflate all the tyres to max air pressure, some searches I have done on this and other forums show tyres on stands, thick foam etc.
I plan just to leave the tyres on the ground at the moment. Also I will place a bowl of salt inside the cabin to collect moisture a trick I used in my caravan.
Is it recommended to start the car up and run for 10 minutes every month? plan to leave it inside, end of November till May next year!
So battery, unable to leave it on charge, but can I use a booster ie TACKLIFE T8 Mix jump starter connected to the battery to provide it with power all the time and then remove every so often, to charge up to the return to vehicle. Or should I only place booster pack on the battery to fire up the engine every month?
Any tips and thoughts appreciated!

Read the TSB from Lexus on long term storage guidelines...https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...guidelines.pdf
you’ll find the TSBs referred to in the long term storage TSB in the STICKY THREAD on TSBs at the top of the forum.
