	Hi, newbie here I have owned a little 1.0 Nissan Micra K10 for nearly three years, half of that time she has been on SORN because I couldn't afford to have all my vehicles on the road. Anyway, the time has come to put her back on the road and apart from needing new brakes all round, and a service, i am hoping there won't be too much needing doing. What i wondered was if there are any people with experience of having had their vehicle off the road for a while and what things i need to be checking and keeping in mind. She has been started and moved intermittently, though not as often as i would liked. Thanks for reading and any advice would be appreciated Roxy

	I think you've got it covered there really; check and free off the brakes(maybe new disks?), fluid change, check the tyres for cracks/ flat spots.. other than that, job's a goodun, I reckon!

	If you're doing a thorough service then that ought to cover most things needed. Check the age of the tyres, old tyres can look fine but they lose grip and can fail without warning. They say to change every 5 years but I've run older tyres no problem. If they're more like 8 years or over I'd change them. Expect a few niggles running at first - I've just had someone who was given an old MX5 that's seen little use for a few years, whilst it's mostly fine it hesitates at speed. I'm convinced it just needs fresh fuel and some good fast runs to clear things out. Don't be surprised if it's showing a lot of steam in the exhaust at first, they do that when they've been laid up for a bit.
