I left my Panda for nearly two months without starting it. Hadn't meant to leave it so long but at least had the battery on trickle charge for much of that time.
When I went to start it... it wouldn't fire. I cranked it maybe three or four times over maybe, 20-30sec in total? The last time it started to catch and then fired up.
I took it for a 30min drive and thought at first that it felt sluggish. Once I'd been driving for about 15min I started to rev it out a bit and began to notice the peppy mid-range it had come back. It's been totally fine since.
I'm surprised that the fuel system took so long to pressurise. Oh well, I'll try to not leave it so long next time.
