Off on my hols in a few days and was wondering how best to leave the 7. Do I connect it to a trickle charger or just turn off with the battery isolator handle?

Only had the car since the 1st May so it's not been left for more than a few days. I have an optimate charger so I might just connect that up.

Just took it for a quick run then tucked it back up in the garage and put the optimate on smile I've left the bonnet on the garage floor but sitting on a couple of pieces of wood, I guess this is the done thing?

Any reason why the bonnet needs to be off the car? It probably won't but more likely to be damaged on the floor than it is on the car.

I just drop the charger cables through the bottom of the chassis.
I don't know really, didn't want the cable being pulled by the bonnet I guess, but upon thinking about it and having another look, the cable doesn't interfere with the bonnet so it's back on the car smile
