New Member after advice

[Phil Sanderson]

Hi all new to this forum few questions.
I owen a 97 discovery which has been of the road for about 3 years dry stored which I took of the road to weld up but never got round to finishing. I'm a panel beater by trade so body is not a issue but mechanical now basics but was wondering what would be the best way or what procedures you guys would do before trying to fire the old girl up?
Cheers for reading

Hi and welcome. After 3 years, do a 'service'. New oil, (and filter) coolant, air filter and obviously a new battery. Drain the fuel as much as possible unless there's not much in there and put in a good few litres of new. Then fire her up and see what happens!

What would be the the going price for a timing belt change be?

 

[Marmaduke]

The one I've just bought was last mot'd in April 2014 so it'll have anything runny replaced, all filters, lift pump and timing belt.

I do my own so I'll be honest I don't know

Do it yourself. If you need help to do it you're in the right place!

 

[Phil Sanderson]

When it comes to timing I think I would leave it to someone who nows what they are doing.
