hi y'all

im a confused.

my SWB S3D (N reg) has a cold start light activated by turning the key to
the right and indicated by a fancy orange light and a choke. can someone
help me through the approppriateness of one over teh other and when to use.
it seems a little like over-egging of the pudding!

those who have seen my name before may recall im a bit clueless but keen to
learn.

many tks I A

The orange light tells you when the glow plugs are heating up. What you call
the choke is actually a fuel cut off lever. When pulled out it stops fuel
getting into the engine. Do you have trouble starting your SIII?
Unless you have the lever pushed in and heat the glow starters it is not
going to work too well.

Come to think of it, how do you stop the engine? Has it been running since
you first started it? SIIIs are difficult things to stall, do you drive it
into a big tree every time you want to stop the enging?

I'm also confused
