Ok so I\'m planning on attempting to take apart the clutch. Ive dedicated a week or two to this as I don\'t yet know what parts i\'ll need so i will have to order once the car has been taken apart. Anyway, chances are that the car will be going a while without having the engine run. 2, maybe 3 weeks. So the question is, what do i need to do to it to store it? Ive read that people have filled up the oil as high as possible, though this seems more like a long term thing.
Any ideas?

Thanks :D

I would disconnect the battery, and, erm, that\'s about it really. As long as it\'s safe so you don\'t need to activate an alarm or anything, realistically you shouldn\'t need to do anything if it is only being stored up for a few weeks. :)

3 weeks? Just leave it. Probably disconnect the battery, that\'s it :)
I regularly leave mine for that long :)
