Cold Start Videos

I suspect a great deal went over the driver's seat too

My wife was helping me clear mine the other day. Unfortunately she left the door open while she was doing it That's ok dear, you'll be sitting in it.

My camera's an antique, I've got no idea if I can get a vid onto Yewtoob from it

Edited by Welly, so it's done right - love the way you dumped half a ton of snow when you opened the bonnet

Why thankyou young man and yes you were right about the drivers seat steve

[steve_earwig]

I splashed out massively the other day on one of those brushes to clear snow off the windows, so I don't have the problem of snow falling inside when I open the door. Where do I keep it? In the car

[puggy]

my faith in the logic of the male species has been restored !!

[FarmerPug]

Puggy have you got a hidden key switch down in the footwell?
On the issue of snow coming into the car Leather Seats haha.

[puggy]

No was pulling the bonnet release

[FarmerPug]

Ah sorry, i thought there was a secret key in there but the immobilizer on the 406 is a good job. Your idea of setting the camera in the engine bay is good your engine mounts are obviously in good condition.

Liking all the video's folks, some really clean 406's on here. The metal bit you see when Puggy opens his door is ridiculously clean, i think it actually 'pinged' Might stick one of mine up tomorrow even though it lives indoors and probably doesnt get much below 0*

Edit - Went out and took a vid this evening, apologies for the whining laborador

[STALLED]

Should I do a warm start video? Given that it's summer here?

[puggy]

But of course you should

95% Humidity and notice that my D8 doesn't have a keypad!

Stalled, your temp gauge isn't working

[Doggy]

Looking at puggy & Countrypug's vids, you can clearly hear the lift pump run for a good few seconds before the starter joins in - thus allowing the glow plugs to do their thang.

For a real challenge, stick the key in & start immediately - that'll sort the men from the boys.

I particularly liked the way puggy's dipstick / acoustic cover were dancing to the beat of the mighty HDi

(no to mention his comment of 'Fooking Mad').

[FarmerPug]

I have no video evidence but i was in a rush this morning -6 it said and i just started it up without waiting, and it did it ok. Not bad for a battery i have drained flat on 3 occasions. (By leaving the boot open which doenst get killed with economy mode.)

Ah !! you made that out did you doggy , i hope you appreciate the lengths i'm prepared
to go to for the sake of the club
