[Vwdiesel] Starting a disel in WINTER ---( Is for wizards and magicians )

[H.Hagar]

I sure like that charcoal and hubcap idea.   On a street in Montreal it
would work.

Just a reminder  --have a fire snuffer handy.           The black art of
getting diesels going is very valuable .   It took me many years to catch 
on  --   for one reason      piecemeal attack.    Now I go for an all out attack
from the start.

Remember ?  at first sign of starting troubles ?    clean battery terminals.  
and pull out all the stops   from glowplugs to  the whole shebang.

Now that I know the art --- I don't  need it ---    sounds familiar ???

If possible cover the front of the car at night    Blanket ?   wonder if a
space blanket would work ?

Val Christian , James Hansen ,Loren , Sandy Cameron and other wizards
have covered a lot so no need for me to say it again.

In parting  make yourself a good set of jumpers . Superflex Welding cable
and parrot beaks. And silver solder connections. Store jumpers like Valmart
Canadian tire etc ? no good   -----  too many voltage drops.            Have fun.

Hagar.
