Fitting a Crank handle???
This may seem a bit odd, so be prepared!
Id like to know if anyone has or has at least considered fitting an old fashioned manual cranking handle to their Landy? (The old type that was replaced by the starter motor? The handle that was cranked over a few times to start vehicles.)
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks

You cant do it with a V8 or a TDI, it must be a 4 or 6 cylinder petrol.

If it would be cheaper they would. Try spinning the engine with your breaker bar and socket on the crankshaft bolt. Get that V-8 to about 80 rpm like the starter does. Then decide on just how large a spring you will need on a winter day....
But yes, engines in some things are started by compressed air, cranks, electric or air powered wrench (some racers), ropes (boat motors under certain HP), even blank shot gun shells (old fighter planes and crop dusters).
But since you already want a robust electrical system to illuminate the six Hella lights on the roof rack, and power the 1200 watt stereo; the electric starter is there.
and re: They say they put a man on the moon - yep, we did.
