hi all been having a few problems with my landy im a panel beater by trade and fairly confident mechanic but advise and tips are very handy and i have tons of questions to ask.

i bought it a few weeks ago with a few known problems from a friend who has had it quite a while well he paid £9000 for it 1996 tdi 300 es
143,000 miles full service history no expense spared full stainless exhaust with life time guarantee ect
was left sitting for about 3 months
the back window got smashed and the battery got stolen so i bought it.
the rear carpet was soaked and the boot floor is rusty not a problem for me.
removed carpet taped window up intill i got glass and rubber

put a battery on it immobilizer light flashed
2 button fob
replaced battery in fob
resync fob
now fob works
immobilizer light dont flash ect
but engine still will not crank
relay clicks in passanger foot well
so weekend going to do the normal checks starter , earths , SPIDER ,

i would like some info on off roading must have as i dont intend on goingout to get stuck but want to be able to go most places
 
well i got the landy running i think the spider is at fault .
found some nasty rusty bits inner wheel arch so got some welding to do.
i got abs light up and noticed the abs is not plugged in so maybe easy fix but doubt it.
egr has been planked and it drives well rear window motor goes down but window stays and theres a knock noise when you put it back up where the mechanism hits the window.
overall im happy with it so a bit of welding , mot tax
