As the car was to be left out in the open for a couple of months with no electricity available I decided it would be a good idea to disconnect the battery and keep it in doors.
A few months later the battery was replaced and other than having to put the radio codes in all was fine. A bit of rust on the discs soon got scrapped off but that was the only sign of the lay up. Fast forward a month and the car seems a different vehicle from the one I left. It seems far nippier and is certainly more economical.
This got me wondering if the disconnection of the battery for so long means that the ECU is reprogramming/relearning and every setting had reverted back to default factory settings. The difference is certainly noticeable and even the Mrs has commented on it.
