I was out for a drive with my girlfriend in my new 1982 240D manual. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant for a burrito and a coke and when we got back in the car I turned the key but nothing -just a click from the solenoid. So I thought I'd just push start it since it's a manual. I almost popped my eyes out pushing with a belly full of burritos, but when she popped the clutch, not a sign of life from the engine. A little frustrated, I tried the key again, it turned over and we were back on the road. But my question is: can you push start a manual diesel as you can a gasser manual? The ignition was on and I got the car rolling to maybe 5 mph which would have been enough to start a gasser (as maybe you can tell I'm fairly new to diesels.)
