Cant' see myself using my CX3 much in the next weeks or months. Haven't used it for the last fortnight.

So today, started car up, warmed it and ran it gently for 25 minutes. I released handbrake, repositioned vehicle, applied footbrake a few times, then switched everything off. Will repeat in a week.

I know others might say take it for a good run-but I don't want to be caught and given a telling off for not obeying the motoring guidance and just as importantly-I don't want a puncture/breakdown then face the heavy penalty and shame of having to call out for emergency help.

I suppose i could remove the battery-but what the heck.

I'm the same as you Dogfuzz. I was running just the MX5 every weekend, but now I run both of them.

Trickle charger on here. These are strange times. Maybe istop will work after 3 weeks charging. Nah, it isn't that strange just yet.😁😁😁

Have to go shopping perhaps once a week, so until starting becomes a problem I'll leave well alone I think.
My mobile shed (Kangoo) on the other hand has only been used very infrequently since last October so I can see myself having to pull its battery once *again* for an overnight charge - not a job I relish as sockets/extension rods/strong tape/small spanners and plasters are employed - plus the battery itself has to be twisted 90 deg's just to get the b*gg"r out :roll:
