Hi people,
Im having to leave my car (Stilo 1.9JTD) for about 8 weeks without being able to drive or even start it. I realise that the battery will almost certainly go flat in this time, and I wont be able to hook up a trickle charger as I will not have a plug near the car.
Would removing the battery mess up the immobiliser and radio etc? And after 8 weeks will I be able to reconnect the battery and drive off? As far as I know immobiliser and all that is standard factory fit (flashing red light on drivers door when locked, nothing aftermarket I dont think)
Anything else I should be thinking about, I realise the tyres may go flat but I got a foot pump ready and waiting in the boot! Radio and cd changer are factory fit, will I have to re-enter my code?
Hopefully I can get a jump off someone else if I cant remove the battery, but if not can you bump a diesel? I'm assuming not, but Im not 100% on this!
Cheers all.
Kurt
