I have been contacted by a gentleman in France who has come across an interesting car
"Hello,
I come to you for some advice, I am French and I am interested in buying a MG MONTEGO 2.0 EFI, it is not the most prestigious MG but it is a car that has become rare, even very rare in FRANCE and deserves to be saved. This MG MONTEGO is from the year 1986 with only 18 000km and has not been driven for a very long time, it will have to be restarted in the rules, for lack of sufficient technical documentation, what precautions should I take with this type of engine (I do not know the exact type) and in general? are the parts easily available?
I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for all the informations and advices you can give me about this model"
You can tell this is a computer translation but I think the advice he needs is reasonably clear. I have the suggested the obvious one of turning the engine by hand to make sure it isn't seized but is there anything else you would recommend. He doesn't own it yet so is probably not in a position to change the oil or do very much too it at this stage. The fuel is probably stale as well.
