Guys,

I have just obtained one of these here in Kuwait, practically
Condition one, except for corrosion in the front and rear edges of the
bonnet, but no handbook etc! It is a 1982 model, how do I check
whether it is a 4.2 or a 4.9???

Also the vehicle has not been started since 2002, so let's not be
silly here and just connect a new battery and turn the key. Apart from
draining the fuel tank, if there's still anything to drain, new
filters, fluids and hoses, what else should I do prior to start up???
I thought removing the spark plugs and penetrating oil/diesel in the
bores for a few days as a starter. But any other suggestions please.

Err, and what are the tyre pressures for the 215/70 VR 15 tyres???

Many thanks,
John
