Next January I am going on a 3 1/2 month cruise around the world and my Mini convertable will be left all alone in my garage.
Are there any precautions I should take before I go to ensure my baby survives its lonely ordeal? In particular what should I do about the battery? Should I just leave it ,or connect it to a trickle charger? If the battery runs down will I loose my computer settings and have to have everything reprogrammed? Any advice would be most helpful. Thanks.

I asked the same question this summer, and here's the responses I got from people:

Just disconnect the battery, you have to re-programme the clock. The ECU will be ok.
