i had a 1985 rangie and when i was skint (as always happens, sods law ) the started motor packed in . Used the crank handle for two months to start it untill i could afford a new one.. Worked great and the V8 is easy to start with it. But do get some strange looks when doing it in town.
Tries it once on a 2.5 N/A 90 and not a hope , could not even turn the crank over. Changed the starter motor really quickly on that one

NM, that must have been a sight to see.
In my experience, girls look sort of funny, when trying to lift or shift weighty things. No offence meant, it is a fact of life. The musculature of male and female is actually different, and girls seem to stick their bum out a long way to lift heavy things. Just an observation of life.
Shorty.
Right ... so .. one last question ... do I need to turn clock or anti-clock wise?

But if my memory is right its clock wise, as you look at the car

When I was a kid a long time ago on the farm my old man had a Massey Ferguson tractor which I occasionally saw him start with a crank handle. He used to swear a lot and make me stand well back, as it wasn't a pretty sight.

As Reads says - clockwise - if you try to turn it the wrong way the crank just comes out of the dog.
