So I remembered my keys this time, hooked up the battery, cleaned out all the grass from the air cleaner and....it started on the first crank. Idled rough for a few minutes and then smoothed out. I drove it around a bit, took a bit of doing to get it out of the hole it had sunk into, and the turbo started coming to life. Put air in the tires and I was good to go. I love the car. I now have $89.00 in it, including half a tank of diesel. I need to get it tagged and insured and I will drive it home.
