Hi lee.

Coupla things to check. Some have an inhibitor switch on the clutch
pedal. Not likely but possible. Most probably boost valve on Offside
under air box. Best bet is to whip it into MB shop and get it plugged
into the magic box. If its been standing there could be a lot of
gremlins lurking on DAS!!! Best of luck.
