Turns out that it had lost a lot of fluid under over the four months in the bubble.
I topped up with 3.25 pts of mix but not sure how much it was down beforehand as it leaks a bit anyway. Cleaned it up and checked the oil too - hardly any drop which was encouraging. So time to start her up.
Problem: it did not seem to have any power in the battery - I was worried that with the bubble off it had killed the battery. However after a quick boost it started without any trouble - so might have been an aberration after the months of inactivity and cold.
Let it run and stopped and started it several times and it seemed to start fine. I thought I'd go for a run as it was sunny but decided to let it charge and take the Mk2 our instead.
Good call. As I got to Oli's the hail came down heavily - twice !
So I put the cover on and left the Seven charging and will check again Monday.
Three cars uncovered - Red, White and Yellow / Green. How big is that UP!
