OK guys - let's open up a can of worms and get some advice on Winter Storage.

As you may or may not know my little butterfly will soon be hibernating for winter.
Question is - does anyone recommend putting the car on Axle Stands?

If so can anyone recommend a set (or do I just buy any from Amazon?)
Then I will also need a Trolley Jack that will fit under the car (as I am NOT using the Honda supplied jack!!!).

Any help appreciated. Not too many "woos" comments though please.

How long for?

i've never bothered.

halfords usually have a deal on, any stands would do

Just pump the tyres up harder than normal, 40-45psi should do and rotate every couple of months.

Stick it in the garage. Leave it alone. If you want to be really nice, put an optimiser on the battery. Otherwise, leave it alone.

If you have OEM bushes do not leave it on axle stands for long periods, as others have said a few more pounds in the tyres or a set of tyre buckets

Cheers guys.
Will do the tyre pressure thing this year and see how it goes.

I have a set of the tyre savers that are used on caravans, which I used when I SORNed my S.
Here is a link: Pair Of Universal Tyre Savers (Except mine are yellow).
If you want them let me know.

They are only £14 a pair with free delivery on Amazon.

You will need 2 sets for the rear due to the width.
Also check the width for the fronts, you don't want the tyre overlapping the edge.
I think I have 2 for each wheel.

Mine sits every winter unused with just a trickle charger. One year it sat for about 18 months without issue, tyres where fine.
