Disconnect and remove the Battery so it doesn't leak, and just be gentle with the engine when you start it back up.

I can't think of anything else.

Make sure the tyres are pumped up correctly, get a car cover and get someone to start it once a week

in a garage or outside?

Yeah, make sure you lock it ;)

I left mine sat on the driveway for 5 weeks last december/january. When I got back into the country she started up 1st time. Absolutely bulletproof!

Id make sure the tyres are fully inflated, not sure if a month is enough for one to slowly go down, but its easier to inflate before rather than after.

Take it to a car wash before hand, don't park it under a tree or where it will get sprayed with grit.

Also might be best to leave the hand brake off with it in gear and a piece of wood behind the wheel if on a hill

and remove any stuff that might get nicked from inside!!

Most of these are over cautious but i'm bored, so might aswell

I leave mine for weeks at a timne (as she is just a weekend car) i do nothing but put a car cover on her. But when i start it i do leave it running for 10 min before taking it for a warm up drive especially in this weather

Iv mine parked up for the last 5 months. I just get the ole man to start it every couple of weeks. Move it in and out of the drive to keep the rust of the discs.
