i have a crapy old j rej pajero and all the glow plugs are nackerd so it had to be turned over for 30 - 60 seconds before it would start,

 

today the battery's just went flat afer a minute or so of turning over so i put jump leads on it from my other crapy j rej shogun and nothing, just clicking, so i think ive nackerd the starter!?

 

i know this isnt a zed but i thought maby one of you guys have maby tried/or know if you can bump start an auto?

 

im 99.9% sure you cant but maby theres a trick to it or somthing as ive never actually tried??

 

 

thanks in advance for any help..

 

 

oh and funky si.... before you say it! yes i know i should of just got new glow plugs!! lol....

Don't think you can mate, i stand to be corrected though.:blush:

I dont think you can, but would not want to go with that 100%, it always intreaged me as to what would happen if you had an auto in nuetral through using the orange top'd lock on the gear stick, rolled it and then selected drive, not saying try this by any means if you have a similar switch, as it's only used to move a car on to a trailor i think? and could cause damage

 

someone will know 100% though ;)

I think you can BUT it has to be towed at more than 30 mph to avoid damage to the box. I also stand to be corrected

Thats why i said i'm not 100% lol, i'm sure its been done in the fasion we are on about just not sure if its a good idea !!!

I wouldn't hane thought so mate......

Don't try and tow start an auto you may damage the gearbox as the oil pump inside the box will not be working and you will damage the clutch plates.

well, it seems to be a 50/50 thing, its not worth anything anyway and the box only selects 1 2 and 3, 4th dosent seem to engage so its on its way out anyway,,

 

sod it, i'll try it later and let you guys know if a nackerd it or not!! lol

I would wait and see what jeff says or someone else with good mechanical knowledge, but if it's knackered i will leave the final decision with you

if it was my zed a would just go and get a starter and replace it, but i hate spending money on the crapy jeep as its just a work horse!! i need to use it soon though hence why i want to know if it can be bumped started... if not i'll have to get the other one taxed and use that one

Yeah i know what ya mean mate i'm using a friends car to get me about at the min and he said dont worry if makes certain noises or you crash it, why i say he jusat said it meaqns nout to me just a work horse, and
