Classic 1995 sat around for the winter. Won't start.

Western Slope Rover · May 8, 2019

My daughter bought me a 1995 RR several months. They are trying to start it and nothing is happening. No turnover, no no nothing.
They are putting in a new battery. Is there anything else they need to do once the battery is replaced?
Responses from me on this post may take time as I'm backi in the hospital.
Thanks guys.

Check the engine is not seized then check the starter motor.

You are lucky, we have them over here that won't start after being stood round overnight.

I know the V8's don't like the cold & damp weather prevalent in winter so mine is run weekly during those months. Outside that period 3/4 weeks of parking in the open doesn't phase it.

I am fortunate to have the garage
And keep my Rover inside when not driveing
The Honda and ford seem to handle the outside better than the Rover
With that said
If I did leave mine out in the cold for some months..., and it wouldn’t start
I’d be all over it
Also sorry to hear you are not feeling well
And hope you too are up and running soon

I'm finally home after 6 more days in the hospital due to severe internal bleeding. I came close to bleeding to death, but I'm still here.

Thanks for the help. Hopefully I' ll be able enough to make the trip to retrieve it myself soon. The kids wanted to surprise me in the hospital but couldn't get it started. Thank goodness they didn't lock it!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery (you that is, the RR will have to wait it's turn)

Cheers! I'm getting stronger every day, but after a ruptured appendix, internal bleeding and then a bout of pneumonia it's going to take a bit of time. It's a good thing that I am too stupid to know when to die.

There is no need for any more than the pain of a ruptured appendix. If there IS a greater pain, then it's wasted.

You've not caught your foreskin in your trouser zip yet then.

Someone had to lower the tone, like it though (the post that is, not the actual incident

)

Had that 'bout a year ago, and another thing that went Awol/septic

Not a fun experience.
