Title: -10c outside and my 12 yr old 2.5 Tractor starts first time!
Post by: 2000elite on 11 February 2012, 09:55:12

Walked out from work this morning at 6am, with 4 other members of staff.  All have taken the p@$s out my old shed in the past (she's not, she's in very fine order!). I ended up taking 3 home as their newer, modern, much better and far more expensive diesels wouldn't start.  2 warms of the plugs and first turn, she fired into life. :y

Glad i checked all the glow plugs before the bad weather set in.

First time they were in it, silence, getting out. "Thats actually a rather nice car"

-10 here also and Omega started first time at 5.50am when my wife went out - babysitting not shopping. I didn't like to interfere by suggesting - "why didn't grandson stay with us for the night?". Probably too logical.
