Although here in the UK we are in the grip of the Beast from the East 2, my thoughts are turning to the spring which is hopefully just around the corner.
I know I will likely be chastised for not driving it but I chose to laid up my 718 GT4 in a dry block built garage from mid-October with a Ctek battery conditioner, cover and tyre cushions. There seems to be two schools of thought surrounding starting the car up, letting it warm up every couple of weeks or so and the other to simply leave it and start it in the spring. I chose the latter.
However, as the initial start up looms (hopefully soon) I was wondering if there was a ‘safe procedure’ that I should employ, like removing ignition and fuel pump fuses and turning over the engine a couple of times to bathe parts with oil before replacing the fuses and starting up? If I’m to remove the fuses, would any of you know which ones specifically?
