Nice one :) Shame on you for not using it for 4 years :D

 

If it has not been stored under a cover you may want to replace the discs and pads before you try and move it.

Change the oil.. then change it again after a descent run in case of any surface rust from internal components being worn off and being transferred around the engine (may be fine but best to be sure)

 

Also don’t forget to check the coolant and gearbox fluid (if an auto).

Put some new petrol in it 2. I'm surprised it started with 4 year old stuff in lol

 

Good point.... :D

 

Probably need some new tyres as well!

 

All the advice above and give it a wash with a clean air fresher ;)

Well has been sat on the drive since sept last year and in the garage since before then as my dad didn't drive it anymore, just going to get it motd and service it and have a good drive with a full tank of petrol and then put some new oil in it and that should help.
