I cant make it start!

<< < (3/8) > >>

Andy the Landy:
Do you pre-heat before attempting to start :?:

iianorthants:
depends how original it is, the ignition key might only work glow plugs and you might have a start stop cable (looks like a choke cable and leads to the diesel pump) this will need pulling to start push to stop.
for the starter button

 if altanator (like std car) === follow cable from positive on batt and should lead to a switch on bulkhead this is starter switch (push button from other side)

 if dynamo (just looks like a steel round tube) follow negative wire to switch

remeber if dynamo, will be postive earth !!!! so every thing is back to front ..... so be very carefull with electrics as body is live source not the battery

hobbit:
Is there a button on the floor, the older versions have a foot button down there with a direct link to the starter

Earlier Series motors also had the dim / dipped switch on the floor too,  might not help you start the engine, but it's fun to play with.

Ok, thanks to those who tried to lend a hand with trying to tell me how to do it, but the thing is, the previous owner has tried to explain it to me over the phone in idiot terms and i still cant do it, now he cant travel 330 miles just to help, what i need is someone relatively local to actually come down and show me, cos i dont know engines.

Cheers

Dan
