How to long-term store a car?

Question:
We'll be leaving a car garaged at our vacation home, and will only be able to fire it up every 3-6 mos or so. Maybe less. It'll be indoors (garaged). Other details: it's a turbo-diesel (no plugs I guess) and convertible top. It's an almost new Citroen C3. Anything special I should do, other than disconnect battery? Should I leave the tank full to prevent rust, or drain it? Anything else?

Answers:

Breaks and Rotors question...?

Keep the tank full, get some diesel fuel treatment from the auto or marine store and put the correct amount in the fuel tank. You can get a battery charger to plug in for it or get a solar charger. make sure the battery has a full water level. Wax it and clean the interior. I would cover it with old sheets. If you can jack it up and get the wheels off the ground. Make sure tires are inflated.
