Taking car out of storage
Hi Guys
Away to take my Subaru out of winter storage this weekend, car hasn't been driven in about 6 months. Is there anything extra I should do before starting her up, other than give the battery a good charge.
Car has been stored in a heated garage.
Cheers

I had a friend who was in a simillar situation, he'd store it low on fuel and refill with 2 gallon of fresh Optimax from containers. This is due to evaporation of the lighter elements in the fuel affecting the RON.
I'd just drive it steady to a garage and top up with V-Power.
