Personally, I would never dream of trying it but I'm curious so am asking, does anyone think it would be humanly possible to hand crank a cold 2.25ltr diesel in a series 3 and successfully start it?
I think not, 'cos even with a less than fully charged battery you just can't get the cranking speed high enough, hand cranking you would just be barely turning 45 degrees at a time.
Thinking of offering a ££'s reward to anyone who can prove me wrong, start up a cold engine by hand and no easy start?
