That sounds about it but if handbrake been left on it might be stuck. If it runs ok after all the checks and a nice drop of new fuel then pop it in 4 wheel and you should be able to brake them free. Hope its ok Fudge!!!

ask the owner/keeper why it's been stood for soo long, and if it's been started reguarly. check for rabid cats living inside..(there is a scrappy in north wales that seems to home rabid cats in fronty's..Box will knoiw the one i mean)
check the rubber hoses on the the brakes and expect the rear brake cylinders to burst..seal will be dry and possibly on the brittle side..

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes

i allready know why it has been standing
there shouldnt be any cats around... since the owners owns a big dog ...
and i have factored into the cost for new hoses etc..
and i didnt think about cylinders..
now factored them in... only 10er each for new ones....
