With all these posts on jump starting and all I thought I'd share my good experience: My car sat in a barn at my brothers' in-laws (to be) for over 5 weeks, waiting for my garage to get finished (It's actually a "Cartainer"; a rebuilt freighting container, more info on the web soon...) so I could park it nearby. With all the talk about battery drain and such I had parked the D in such a way that I could reach the enginebay with my other car for a jump start AND I had a couple of cables ready. None of this was neccesary! The alarm disengaged without any trouble and the car fired right up on the first try! I don't know what type of battery I exactly have, but I do know it's a VARTA with top-posts, one of the previous owners put it in there with a couple of post-adapters for fitting the wires. Actually the only problem I had was that my Left Rear tire had a slight pressure loss, but this hasn't reoccurred yet (I drive it week(end)ly now...). That's about it, just some happy things I wanted to share ;-) JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac... Living the Dream...
