    Hi All,

    My car has been in storage on trickle charge all winter and upon starting the car I get the following errors.

    Errors-
    Suspens control system failure
    Manettino failure
    ABS system failure
    CST system failure

    Any idea what could be causing these faults please?

    Thank you, battery was changed last year and the car lives on a trickle charger when not in use. Would you still suggest starting with a new battery?

    I would, mine came out this year from hibernation and needed a new battery that was 5 years old though, they dont like constant charge, so 2/4 hours a day is good. Mine also needed a new alternator this year.

    Thanks Justin.

    Must admit my car is left on trickle charge throughout the winter I didn’t realise it may affect the battery negatively. Will get a new battery fitted.

    Would it better going with an official Ferrari battery?

    euro car parts etc are all showing a lower powered battery than the 100AH battery showing on Ferrari specialist websites?

    Thanks

    No need ..I don't have the size in front of me but honestly getting a Duracell AGM from batteries plus with the right size will be fine and you will be happy
