Matty Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Big bump at entirely the wrong time of the year. Hears two from early last year (not the coldest winter granted). Probably my all time favourite van (now dead) and cf DAF shunter with the big block (and a bit of bonus bush). First gear and that fecker will climb the side of the mill at tickover ?

Zelandeth Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I'd forgotten about this, but with this thread in mind I grabbed one of the van on a winter's day which was hovering roughly around freezing. Not exactly arctic temperatures but chilly enough. bigstraight6, phil_lihp, DoctorRetro and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 This one from last December - was a very cold night and for once I hadn't put the car away. LightBulbFun, Lacquer Peel, bigstraight6 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Not frozen but sat unused for probably 2 to 3 months I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Not cold weather, admittedly, but this was a cold start of my Princess following a carb rebuild combined with a very weak mixture, bad points, timing 15 degrees out, a knackered battery and a blown exhaust. Enjoy. Suffice to say, since all those issues were resolved cold starts are now quite boringly instant. BlankFrank and SiC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The sound of that cranking over and over and over until the battery was flat sounds like every middle-England driveway in the early 70s*, every single morning. *So I'm lead to believe. I didn't witness it myself. beko1987 and phil_lihp 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Time to resurrect this thread as we are into October..

83C Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It's against @320touring's rules on page one but this is too good not to post. Cold start, blowing smoke rings out of the exhausts and being able to count individual cylinders picking up.

Fantastic: https://youtu.be/W6R7QR01L9g I’ve actually watched that before, I love the sheer drama and will it won’t it start related tension. I will try and rope Mrs w into videoing my old Landy firing up. It’s still got the battery it had when Tony Blair swept to power so it usually gets started on the handle. 83C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on lates this week. Fingers crossed though once winter sets in there should be ample opportunity for some cold start Cummins NT or Perkins TWH action. beko1987, LightBulbFun, warch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
