If it's not been run for 10 years, a few things to do before you try and start. Do the cam belt, water pump etc and replace all the aux belts. Flush the coolant system, replace thermostat and put fresh anti freeze in. Change the engine oil and filter. Remove the spark plugs and put some petrol redex in each cylinder. About 10ml. Use a syringe attached to length of thin hose (silicone vac pipe is good) otherwise you will flush the crud in as well. Drain the tank of petrol. Replace the fuel filter. Add fresh petrol. Let the oil soak in the cylinders for a few days if possible. Before trying to start, remove the fuel pump relay and with all plugs still out, turn the engine over for a few seconds to eject the redex (rags to catch) and build some oil pressure. Replace clean plugs and 're fit relay then go for 1st start.
