Default Well had a go at start the car today....

After what Doug said about removing the spark plugs and disconecting the injectors i did this before cranking the car over. Cranked the car over for a bit then connected everything back together. The car turned over once and she fired up no problem!!!!!! Wooohooo first time for 8 months Let her run up till the fans came in and went off then changed the oil to the Silkoline stuff. And fair play even on tick over i think the car sounds better


Cant fault the car, cant wait to get out in it agian now

Heres some pics:
