justinb Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If its a diesel ,you might be lucky and it'll fire up with good batteries ,is the hull full of water ,take the drain plugs out and emty it .when you switch on the battery isolator you should hear the fuel pump running at the back of the vehicle .where are you ?if not too far i could come and help if you like justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinb Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 to start it .battery isolator on ,ign on ,press acclerator all the way and press the start button until it fires ,make sure no-ones pressed the fuel shut off pedal.once running adjust the tickover to 1000 rpm and let the old girl warm up ,once warm slow down to 800 rpm ,no lower theres a mettalastic coupling which suffers at low tickover.

sirhc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Petrol is probably not as easy to get going as if you need to clean points of plugs you've got to lean in though the hatch on the side. Try some big batteries and fresh fuel, hopefully it'll fire right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
