This is something i never experienced before, cutting the story short. My father bought a new santro for office in 2009, we knew about it but were never interested in it because we were busy with our work/studies. Santro had a driver that took care of it and it used to be parked in a parking space in a building underground new our home as we didn't had much space for an other vehicle. My father flew away to Stockholm for almost 2 years came back and asked about the santro and we replied back saying "you still had it?". Now we started calling everyone in his office looking for the driver and everything that there used to be a vehicle we owned and everything. coming to the conclusion after leaving my father to the airport the driver parked the vehicle in the same building near our house and then after a week or so he got a new job and he never bothered to call any of us dropped the keys at office reception with a note only. Bottom line, we found it parked at the same building with cover on top and everything, towed it back to home and here it is. Still i have got my hands full with other things so yeah still ill look into how to get this thing started, yes the battery terminals were removed and there is some air left in the tires. Its still a brand new vehicle because since 2009, it has only done around 2k kilometers.
Ill keep this thread alive and walk through the experience of how to start a vehicle parked for almost 2 years, what to check and how to treat it. This Sunday ill start with charging battery, Ill find the history of when the oils were changed, ill look into the condition of tires as it been parked over them for that long time, all engine fluids, break oil, coolant everything then and only then bring her to life.
Still i am not a santro fan but this really made my heart broke looking at her like this, i am not sure but since i layed my eyes on her, i am actually making up a bond and that my friends only true petrol heads can understand.
