So looking at getting the rallye started again soon. So the engine has been stood for a while.
So I'm going to do a service, oil change, filter change, coolant change.
Turn the engine by hand for a couple of cycles.
Start?
Anything I should or shouldn't be doing?
If it was me id start it get it up to temp then drop the oil and coolant
I wouldn't start it.
I'd drain and flush the oil until it was coming out the same colour as I was putting It in. Then carry on as you was matt
just sitck some jump leads on & go

not gona happen this side of christmas!
Prob best to paint it with white emulsion first too.
Cambelt is definatley going to happen before I even start. I remember it was a good engine so I don't want to f*ck it by starting it with shit oil etc. especially as its been sat for at least a year
Won't do any harm to start it with old oil mate, I'd at least get it warm and then drop it
Oh really? May well have to go start it up for lols
Disconnect the double relay (behind the ecu) and crank it over a few times until the oil pressure gauge shows some life,reconnect the relay and then start it.
