hello all
When I got my series 3 109 station wagon a couple of years ago, it came with a starting handle which I have never used but I'm tempted to have a go just for the hell of it. I have only ever tried starting a car with a handle once before 43 years ago when I was a teenager. The car was a moggie 1000 and the bloody thing nearly broke my wrist, it was a real effort. Does anyone have any tips on a good technique, obviously I know the ignition needs to be on. Mine is a petrol two and a quarter lump. Thanks in advance for any responses.
