The Poxhall struggled this morning. Went out about 10 to pick up the wife, MFD reckoned 0.5c outside... it really spluttered begrudgingly in to life then made funny noise all the way down to the bus station.

Nice one CJ. Could you get the window fairy to wipe mine too? :lol:

As mjb says, it's the same as a warm start - I just stick the key in & twist it & it fires after about 1 second, same as in summer. Below about -5 it does sound a bit more agricultural till it warms up a bit. 8)
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
