samdale Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It's been clear and dry all day so thought it a good idea to go for a drive now I've finally got some time off work. Out to the car, happily take a seat then all I get if this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9ml4pEkYGH_YUpXUzBMYmdKQk0/view?usp=drivesdk That's pissed on my plans for the day anyway.

Bobbeh Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Unlucky, I made it out with mine for a bit today, just before the heavens opened! I think it'll be soon time to put her away for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 And no jump leads Shed build in the spring then the supra can go in the garage with a trickle charger I also learned this lesson the hard way. There's a space at the side of the spare wheel which is perfect for a set of jump leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdale Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 OK so I caved. Nipped to local shop and splashed out on some el cheapo jump leads (a whole £7.99 don't ya know). Don't judge me, Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 CTEK on mine all the time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I have a big red battery kill switch. Me too Have the CTEK also so the ECU doesn't have to relearn every time the car is garaged for long periods. I have the little plug that comes with it permanently wired under the bonnet. To charge the battery is as simple as plugging a USB stick in with that there. Excellent bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Ctek's are great. I had mine on charge whilst it was outside via a decent extension lead and a tupperware box under the car. Never let me down once. Just remember to remove it before you drive off. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
