Hi Can anyone advise me is it better to leave the cerbera 4.5 on trickle charge and not to start the engine for the winter or start her up and get the engine to running temp every 2 weeks.

Thanks Ian

I would leave and probably disconnect the battery.

Starting an engine up and just running it up to temp is not really very good for them.

put it on trickle charge, then when it's not wet take it out for a run smile

As has been said above, drive it! Just been out in mine to get a final few bits for Christmas.

But if you can't drive it then leave it on trickle charge. Don't start it unless you intend to drive it
