Recently bought an RS Turbo but it was stored for around 6months before and the battery left flat, now I have started running it around the battery hasnt been holding its charge and also when I put my foot down sometimes it begins to judder like its not gettin sufficient fuel on boost? The problem stops when I switch the engine off and restart it the problem then comes back if I put my foot down, does this sound like an electrical fault such as a sensor down? Thanks

Replace the battery. And add a good fuel cleaner to the tank to clean the lines and fuel system. Then fill the tank up with NEW fuel. The fuel could have been bad after sitting that long?
