Some good advice. Now I need to find someone I can trust to take it out for a spin every now and then.

Thanks. I'll look into a CTEK battery charger.

Make sure the air-con's on too. It doesn't do it any good not being used. There's no need to have the fan any faster than on the lowest speed just make sure the air-con light's on.

CTEKs are ace

Pump the tyres up to higher pressure if you're not using it

Run till its warm too, that'll help keep things dry

Ok, will start on some of these suggestions today. I'm looking for someone who can do a basic service from home. I believe I can apply to get my license beck in a couple of weeks. Then there's the insurance. That's going to change upwards. Got rid of my Golf last week so the S will become my main drive for a while.
Thanks for your help.
