Brakes not being used?
My car hasn't turned a wheel for two months almost, and is unlikely to do so for the next few weeks.
I keep moving it a little to stop the tyres standing on the same part of their tread, and the handbrake is off.
I've noticed the brake discs going rusty, plus a mate has said that my brake PADS will deteriorate.
Is there anything I ought to be doing to alleviate this and the rusting?

You could oil them..... I'd remove the pads for now.
No seriously, and clean them once the re-build starts. Even I'm getting excited.....

all you can do is drive it around the block every week , or if its not drivable , and wont be for a while , either take them off , or remove the pads and spray them with WD40 , and when you want to run it again , gunk it all off and wash them down , then use them
