For the past 2 months my Disco has been sitting due to V8 top end rebuild and various rewiring, soldering and installing new spiral conduit jobs.
I'm getting close to being able to start her back up so my question is since it sat for a while... Should I manually turn over the engine to get oil flowing? Or... can I start her up as normal?
Thanks in advance!

 

I've cranked vehicles that have sat for over 6 months. Basically if the oil light goes out in under 5-10sec tops you are fine. It may tick for a few seconds but that should quickly go away. Or you can turn it over either by hand or via the starter with the fuel pump relay removed if you'd like.

 

I pulled the fuel pump relay and bumped the ignition a couple of times after my rebuild just made me feel better.

 

Yeah it certainly won't hurt it! Quick n easy enough to do.

 

Cool! Thanks guys for the info!

 

My Disco has been sitting in Phoenix heat since March 12th without ANY attention, except for a solar trickle charge, as I am stuck in the east due to C19. I don't expect to have to do anything special to start it... and have let the LR3 sit likewise before this... but, do need to watch your gauges after starting up and driving around!
