If it's a d****l that's how it left the factory :lol:

No, seriously ... you don't look that daft, let's assume it's a petrol :ok

Is the fuel filter new ?
Is the fuel new (old fuel goes off and doesn't run the same)
When was it serviced ?
Did you SORN it over the winter ? :roll:

Ian :wink:

Probably needs a service and a good run, these things HATE being parked up.

Good luck with it :ok
