I have done it in the past, got a feeling it's easier in low range.

its easy to bump start them... first or second.. whichever. we've had to do it loads of times because our battery is crap. that should be sorted now though thanks to dreadnaught110

Also try warming the battery up, it's a chemical reaction after all.

Get yourself a set of these (see pic) :wink:  - don't need to get your seat out then! Drop me a pm if you do.

Some people do say you shouldn't bump start a diesel... but I've never seen any proof as to damage caused.

cant see why it would cause any damage anyway? bump starting it isnt much different to starting it using the starter, surely? works for us, anyway :)

£65 + £5.00p&p (UK mainland) for the standard length. And then an extra £10 for the black cover/seal if wanted.

Comes complete with all stainless steel fixings needed.

Can also do a set with an isolator switch if wanted.
