The ute has been sitting now for nearly 2 years, unstarted and battery out, while I've been living and working away. I was wondering if anyone could advise me of a procedure to get the old girl back on the road. The services were all done regularly while it was driven and it didn't have any outstanding issues, except tyres, before it was parked. Any suggestions appreciated fellas.

Fresh fuel, fresh battery.Fresh oil, I would pull the IGN..fuse and crank it over for a bit to get the oil pressure up first, then plug it back in and see how it goes

Change your brake fluid too before you do too many kms.
