Back home Sunday, Fatty has been sat on the drive for 60 days, what do we all think will happen.... will it start, any faults....??

God knows, how old is the battery ? I will guess at starting after a helping hand with the charger then no faults once started or did you sneakily remove a trickle charger before taking the photos

Those photos are a few months old, it does have a trickle charger attached and is blocked in down the bottom of the drive... The tracker still works so the volts are there....  Pete

In that case, I will go with start straight away and no faults, or possible a couple of warning lights that disappear during a little warm up time at idle, good luck.

Working away for months at a time, this is a well worn path for me, after a charge up, there is always that anxious first turn of the key (with crossed fingers whilst preying) then relax and start breathing again when it fires up

My guess will be no problems at all.  overfinch modified

Tracker is reporting the last known location, but it’s actually now in Kenya?

Only kidding!

Oooooh, I am awful, aren’t I?

Sorry Pete, Gremlin just couldn’t resist! -it’ll be fine, no worries!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

I think it will start on the button and be fine, from experience I expect it will have flat spotted the tyres but they will go round again after a drive.... just wondered who the pessimists on here were...

Just wondering if it's worth putting the FBH on first to warm it up a bit, think I probably will, battery is under a year old so should be OK....

Gremlin, it's on CCTV as well so unless they have replaced it with a cardboard cut out it should be there still....  Pete

I thought it warmed the coolant in the engine as well....

Oh well, won't bother...! Pete

If it’s anything like my NVR, one channel always seems to “freeze”, I’ve had the odd panic when the car has *vanished* off the driveway, only to run to the window and see it’s still there!

But what if you get home, she starts first time, and no flat spots on the tyres, but the engine is warm and fuel tank empty?  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
