"Push starting" a Puma:
10/11 years ago I did an LR Experience in a 2.4 Puma and the instructor was quite clear that it could be bumpstarted on a steep hill. I say "bumpstarted" - brakes on, in gear, ignition on, take the brakes off and it would roll and start without the starter motor. I sem to recall that this was in low ratio as well.


the above doesn't suggest the battery is completely flat, in which case I'm sure this is possible.
different story if the battery is completely flat. Thumbs Up

IIRC even a 200tdi needs 12v to the fuel solenoid to start it?

You are correct, from 12J engine onwards (change to timing belt driven injection pumps), they had an electrical fuel shut off valve on the injection pump. The valve is normally closed, so the engine will not start unless a 12V is supplied to the solenoid.

The 10J as fitted to series and some early coil sprung had a manual shut off. Those can be bump started without a battery.
All coil sprung factory diesels had electric shut off solenoids
