my grandmother is sick and i may not see her again unless i take a 4000 km trip in the next couple weeks

cost wise, it's most economical for me to take my diesel van over anything else

the only issue is my van doesn't have glowplugs and doesn't start at temperatures lower than 6c, the temperatures here are quite mild but i will be going further north

if the temperature goes lower than that overnight my plan was to just idle the engine all night. i've heard diesels are fine to idle.. is there any truth to this?

put glowsplugs in your engine already, they're not that expensive.

taje a halogen lamp with you and put it under the engine 5 minutes before you want to go, 300W should be enough, but to be sure take 400w, shouldnt cosstt that much

that's fucking ridiculous, glow plugs are $10 each

did you snap the tops off, get quoted $1000 to un-fuck your mess, and decide to just keep driving without them as long as it would start?

Literally get a can of ether you eurocuck

>lower than 6c

Bring a camping stove, put it under the car and let it run for a while before you start. Or use it to boil some water, put it in a steel bottle and put that under the hood for half an hour.
