Yep 24 hour access, will be using it soon when we hire a truck for 24 hours to move from 3 places, including storage, into one. Kennards' are all over the place though, hopefully you'll find some space somewhere.

Hope you enjoy the "special car" :D

Yeah the Classic Throttle Shop down the road from my work offers this service including cafe / shower / lockers, and vacuum-sealed bubble enclosures for the car; they start from $300 per month.

If it is genuinely "special" these guys offer a great service and look after them through storage as well.

Hey guys thanks for the replies.

Duncan: The price for kennards was also $300 plus per month for a secure lock up garage type storage, but the price varied rediculously from suburb to suburb. E.g. Hoxton park was $875 and whetherill park was $310

You may want to check with your self storage facility near your house or just see if there are any short term parking spots within a maintained garage that you can secure a lot at. Most important is to make sure the place has a good security system and you've got insurance for the car coming in even if you're not going to be driving it gor a while. Good luck!

So long as you can secure the car eg clamp, some elderly people would love to have your car on their block of land to indicate that someone is 'always at home'.

I used to be able to park my car for free at someone's house when I did locum pharmacy wk at Shalvey and Lethbridge Pk. And they felt more secure with a nice car in their driveway/carport.

All it takes is some cold calling via a network. Yeah, I'd buy a gift now and then.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
