Need Some Advice

[verba1]

Is it worth starting up the engine once in a while, once the car is off the road for the winter ,or does this do more harm than good ?

Thanks

Forge do a bov kit for the Noble.

This is a previous thread with all the info you need. Make sure you ask for the yellow spring and uprated air filter.

As said earlier, start it up but let it run until fans kick in

Hmmm, not sure about this one myself as I remember reading an old classic car article saying that this caused water to build up in the engine, exhaust etc through condensation over a period of time. My mechanic also advised against it, saying it was better to leave it stand and take it out for a good 10-20 mile blast when weather permits.

This is what I do but suppose it's all down to personal preferance, as I'm no mechanic and couldn't tell you which is right or wrong.

Stephano, in answer to your question the other day, re-attached the battery today, no siren, doors opened and car started 1st time.

My car is in a communal garage below where i live. If i disconnect the battery when the car is locked the alarm is going to off and drive people mad ( well at least for 5 minutes , then it just turns itself off as you said , hopefully!!

How can i disconnect the siren , is there a fuse somewhere ? that should solve the problem and the car can still be locked and the battery will be saved .
