This is what I did. Run the motor and add oil down the inlet until it is smoking quite badly.Let the engine cool down and then back off the rockers until there is no pressure on the valve springs. Drain the water from the radiator and the engine block. Drain fuel.Tape up inlet. Put car on stands/or remove wheels. Leave hand brake off and leave the doors ajared on the first catch. And cover your car with something.

I'd leave the water in it but add some soluble oil. a gun shop or engineering supply shop can supply it. A dry block will rust and the head gasket will dry out.

And perhaps you might give the whole bodywork a good oil spray.
I have kept my one tonner on hold in my garage for more than 10 years. Its my retirement project so I got a couple more years to wait before doing anything else to it.

Put some rat/mice bait in the passenger compartment, mice can sometimes get into a locked car.

The carcoon covers are very effective, and if the car has value (even if just to you) will deal with condensation and other issues. I have seen them on trademe, they must still be around. Someone up the road from me stores his Citroen ds23 under one.

Best just to sell them very cheaply to another Aucklander who will keep them in a nice garage and take them out in the weekends :-)
