Bump starts, by pushing or by running downhill, are not recommended for modern cars. Why is this? They used to be my winter standby.

Potential damage to catalytic conerter & on board electrics.
Also, as mentioned last week, check procedure for jump lead starts!
If battery is on it's way out, these chilly mornings will make it fail.Sort it now, if you can!

Desperate to get the 309 started after 3 weeks starting , I push started it. Rolled to about 15 ,lifted clutch in 2nd and there was an odd... grinding noise from the engine followed by a very unhappy sounding misfire. Its fine now though. Should Mum get rid of it before the next MOT indicates cat damage?!!

Are you sure a 309 will have a catalyst?

..change is inevitable, but progress is optional..
