Hi guys, I just imported a plymouth roadrunner from the states and she hasn't been started for approx a month and a half. Went to start her up at the shipping depot and no cigar. The lights aren't coming on the dash which means the battery is flat (battery is newish). Plus I had a look under the hood and the fuel filter bowl is quite dry too. Will I need to prime the fuel pump and jumpstart at the same time! Would there be anything else off the top of your head that you would do! Cheers.

Fit a charged battery and pour some fuel down the carb .

If the dashboard light is blown, it will affect the charging system.

Not really the car for a person who doesn't know the basics. unless they have oodles and oodles of cash.

Actually, if you read my first post you would know that I checked all the necessary points. Just wanted an experts opinion on what other things I could/should check too. Who are you to say that a car isn't for someone! Jealousy of people who are rich probably won't help your case either.

Do they drain the petrol before shipping!, check oil as well (o:
