donna miller Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The truth is, most fellas think women are like modern day diesels in that we are ready to go at the turn of a key. Now, in reality, cast your mind back to the diesel engines of the 70s and 80s, you had to apply the pre heat at least a couple of times before you attempted the start. I thought that if I put it into mechanical terms, it may be easier for you guys to understand :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Liberal pre heating and the turning on all 25 keys in the correct order followed by anti freeze and brake fluid removal ought to get things up and running then Donna - as long as the battery has not got a headache eh?

twooks Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 don't forget to use just the very finest most expensive fuel - the equivalent of 5* in fact [showing my age again >:-) ] makes running so much smoother B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geof Angi Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yep thats it, and dont forget the Wynns/STP just to keep the smooth action if you run out of lubricant Geof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Are we talking 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines? 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geof Angi Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Mel I would suggest 4 stroke as it's not oil as such Geof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I must admit I have a soft spot for the smell of 2-stroke oil ... we used to have a Bond Mk G Estate Minicar (microcar) that ran on 2-stroke ... ooooooo the clouds of smoke when it was cold .... I can smell it now!!! Cough, cough, cough .... choke ...... wheeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
