Yes it will start without the centre console trays etc, if you have disconnected the gear linkage you need to make sure it's in Park. Pretty sure it won't start otherwise, not sure though as I've never tried it.
oops, beat me to it Simon

Re: diesel fuel filter
Hi,I was looking at a pic of your striped engine,looks like your vehicle does have a hand primer(as most have),these primers are also used to drain and clear the filter of sediment and water,when drain plug is removed.Driver+Passengers wrote:I don't have a primer on mine either. It can take a long time cranking before it starts. Longer than you think...Maybe a minute or more in three or four goes.
Some crack an injector pipe - I don't know if this helps it to bleed faster or not, but I'd say just persevere...
Have a battery charger to hand just incase.
Happy New Year.
