good luck
Cheers it definitely turns over by hand, as I put some light oil down the bores first before I even attempted to replace the timing belt.
I'll make a note of the oil pressure light with the coil disconnected, let's hope nothing is corroded or broken down but I suppose that's what happens with a 28 year old car
