I have a manual diesel blue efficiency, this leads to stalling presumably if I do not wait long enough for the motor to get going properly before bringing the clutch up.
Sometime just dipping the clutch gets it to restart itself automatically (is there a config option to extend the time during which the car considers it a failed stop-start start?).
Sometimes I have to switch off and restart, hydraulic power steering on a stop-start car is such a good idea!
Often it feels like the car is going fast enough to bump start (> 5 mph) but it never works, that is until last night it bumped into life but sounded really rough, like not all the cylinders were firing, I switched off and restarted.
So is bump starting a no-no, do I have to condition myself to not try it?
(It is a bit strange anyway, when I was young enough to stall cars, I cannot remember it resulting in the car travelling fast enough to bump start, typically it went nowhere).
