Not started for 6 months
I've been living in Thailand and when I return home my S will not of been turned over for 6 months.
What should I do before starting it? My main concern is lubrication. I have heard recommendation to pop the plugs out and put a small amount of oil in the cylinders. Should I do this and perhaps turn it over a little on the starter motor without plugs and with the fuel pump fuse pulled?
What about the fuel, is there any risk of condesation causing issues?
Would love to hear any advice/tips so I am prepared to turn her over when I get back, I have no doubt she will fire up instantly but would rather not risk any damage doing so!
Cheers.
