A couple of weeks ago, I asked about storing my son’s Eunos (Mazda MX5 mk1) for 3 months; thanks for all the useful advice on that. Things changed slightly last week when a friend drove it back to our house so that it can now be stored close-at-hand on our (almost flat) drive in front of the garage and an electricity supply.
My son had ordered a new ‘all-over’ cover for the car – but would it be better to just use a ‘cockpit’ cover as recommended by Manatee?
I discovered the battery in the boot, and it appears to be one of those small ‘gel’ types. I’ve got a Lidl ‘Ultimate speed’ charger that works fine on conventional batteries; would it be OK to used that for charging – or is it necessary to invest in something a bit more sophisticated - a Ctek (MSX 5.0?)?
As I can’t get the car in the garage, I’m a bit concerned about the battery freezing. Is there any sort of small heating device that can be placed in the boot close to the battery? Something like an inspection lamp with a 40w bulb? Or am I likely to set the car on fire? - I don't think that would go down too well!
Thanks.
