I came to use my P6 for the first time in about 6 months yesterday. The car hasn’t been started for about 4 months. Shameful I know, but storing the car away from home, winter, and lockdown restrictions all conspire.
I was alarmed to find the clutch had seized. Fortunately I was able to free it off by starting the car in gear with the clutch pedal depressed. This took a few attempts, so it was obviously reasonably well stuck. The car is stored in dry (but unheated) garage, so I’m surprised it stuck.
Afterwards, it seemed to drive normally, with no judder or awkwardness changing gear. Am I safe to assume there’s no long term damage done?
