Title: TD warm start
Post by: Shackeng on 02 November 2016, 19:19:17

TD parked facing uphill after about 5 minutes driving from cold, quarter tank of fuel, battery not 100%, failed to start after several revolutions, didn't flog the battery completely to death, as I know the symptoms. SWMBO delivered the jump start kit, and by now the gloplugs came on, so it sprang straight into life. I know from experience that when the engine is just this warm, it doesn't like to start immediately. Should I be concerned? Ideally, I would have a switch to select the gloplugs at this sort of engine temp. :-\
