i must be anal about this, i used to fire my sc zs up every few weeks.

in the winter i even get the petrol lawnmower out once or twice and give that a blast for 10-15 mins.
Changed car, went away to NZ for 3 weeks, battery died, as did the fob. Lost the love for it. When it was last sorn'd it was running every week, this time was different. But all's good now.

Not worried as it is not the first time I have stored a car for a long time and primed it ready to run again. No different to starting a new engine, check everything, get oil pressure etc and hit that button!

I frequently don't start the Landie for months at a time (4 months the last time it was left) I just don't have the time to drive it these days due to young kids! However I've never had any troubles starting it (except when the coolant froze, but then I didn't attempt to start it!!) and never done any damage to it... The head came off this week to get it unleaded converted, so I guess it won't be fired up for a couple of weeks while we do some work that needs doing and is easier with no head...

Stamford, Does this mean I'm likely to see your car around again? or still not on the road yet? I assume your not doing the sunday lunchtime meet any more?

Not on the road yet, too much going on at the moment and with 7 cars on the property I am having trouble accessing it! Not all mine I might add!
