Advice for 147 that won't be driven for awhile

[pmik]

I am working abroad for awhile and my baby (manual 147 1.6, 2001 model) is parked at home. The car will not be driven for several months (up to 9 months)

I have disconnected the battery, but have not done anything else. Is there anything else I should do? I have been told worrying stories of seized wheel bearings and such. Would it be a good idea to get someone to drive it once in a while? If so, how often would be advisable?

When I do get back home, are there any steps that I should take before driving it?

Advice would be appreciated!
Mike.

Have somebody drive it once every 3 or 4 weeks. Even when I go away for a month I have a friend drive it around once or twice. Can't hurt.
