Defender 130 Td5 resurrection!

Hi all.

As stated in my introduction thread, I'm about to embark on getting my 130 back on/ off the road again.
I am determined to drive it into our workshop under its own power, so I need to get it started... I know it turns over and I can hear the fuel pump working. I have reset the inertia switch and the battery is currently on charge. What else would anyone recommend before I just cross my fingers and turn the key???

Cheers

It's ALIVE!!!

It runs perfectly! It started after 2nd or 3rd attempt and I left it to idle for about 10mins before revving it at all. It sounds fantastic and runs really smooth.

I've spent 3 days mucking out our workshop and tomorrow I will be driving it in to start the work... After I have moved/ cut/ bent the inner wing away from the steering column...
I'll put up some pics of its current state soon...

One quick question, what's the largest size tyre I could fit onto Boost alloys (16x7)?

Cheers
