I have sorned one but within about 3 weeks of being parked the battery gets drained, so the plan is to run engine now and again then remove battery for a few weeks..

I had no engine in my car for nearly a year, and when I refitted it all the ECU worked fine. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft" Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone

Left unused they can occasionally (no bloody idea how) lock themselves again. Standard cars with keypad or transponder shouldn't be a problem at all though. ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk Facebook
