Absolutely brilliant as always AVE! Regarding the widow makers onslaught of abuse and neglect. You can save dollhairs on ‘START YOU BASTARD’ using this method someone demonstrated to me back in the late 1960’s, before START you Bastard’ (other brands are available) became available. Turn diesel or petrol engine over on starter for 3 seconds if it doesn’t start, stop turning. Count slowly to ten, turn engine over on starter for 3 seconds if it doesn’t start. Keep repeating this process. This process will start the engine provided the engine is in working order and just cold, or left unused for some time. This works because the cylinder on full compression is heating the cold charge of fuel air mixture while you are counting to slowly ten. In the case of the diesel engines which are after all compression ignition engines. This process is very good on modern diesel engines, where the tool who designed them, put the glow plugs truly out sight out in their minds where no one in the right mind can easily access them.
