Car starting problem again
Guys I'm not planning to use the car much this winter so will sit around a bit I washed it Saturday at wanted to move it tonight back so the brakes don't get stuck on, an it's really struggled to start when it did it sounded like I was winding the engine up by hand after 5 seconds it came back to normal and reved normaly and sound fine
Any ideas? Battery is about 18months old
Ps what's the best way to stop brakes from locking on? I've parked the car an left it in gear Does it sticking to the disc and then having to get the car to reverse to brake them off do any damage?
Cheers

Mine struggled to start not long ago. Been fine since.
If your leaving it for a while just leave it in gear with the handbrake off. If its on a hill maybe get something to stick behind the rear wheels or fronts depending on which way its pointing
