Gents,

Selfishly I've been called away from the UK for two months, leaving behind the M400, which isn't going to be used.

It lives in an underground garage, without access to power for a tricle charger. Options as I see it as follows:
- Disconnect the battery, disabling the alarm. I'm not too worried about safety given the car is garaged and looked after by a porter
- Place in professional storage. John at Mole Valley kindly recommended 355 International

The latter is quite expensive and therefore I'd much appreciate any guidance on whether disconnecting the battery for an extended period will damage anything or whether there is an option I'm not considering.

Cheers

Would it not be a good idea to lift it off the ground also as to not leave it on one spot on the tyres?

If its only going to be for 2 months you don't need to worry about a preservation service etc. Might be an option to get a friend or the porter to run it up for you while you're away. Otherwise I'd just give it a good clean, park up (no handbrake) and disconnect.

Thanks for the help all. Will leave the keys with my 17yr old brother. Sure he'll agree to give it the run around....or not for that matter.
