sparkyvr 1 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hi all I am fairly new to forum although I have been a member for a few years. I have dusted my 97 VR Highline down and am ready to bring her back to life. I have changed the tyres and have unlocked the brakes. I have installed a new battery and she turns over but does not fire. What would the correct procedure for tracing the reason for the lack of starting. I could take it to a garage and I probably will, but I would like to attempt it myself first. I am looking forward to your responses. Link to post Share on other sites

sparkyvr 1 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Alas she is in a sorry state. Needless to say she is a 97 highline with 82k miles under her belt. only mods were mk4 headlamps and honeycomb grille. She hasn't even been lowered yet. Link to post Share on other sites
