Not seen these "instant start" diesels. can you cite an example of such an engine? My repmobile is pretty new but still waits to start the engine after I push the button. I am interested to know more.

420? What is it? My last saab was a 93 HOT and it did not make 420 Nothing like in fact. Come to think of it, neither did the Viggen.

I know times are changing but thats outrageous!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Maybe he means 240bhp?
Or it's a big rig!

I think so..... My 93 was 340BHP on the Rolling road and that was a well modded bit of kit. went like the clappers as well. I don't think a Diesel GM is gunna give out 420 BHP.Unless its pushing a big chevvy 8

Shaggy could be reffering to a 40 tonner Al.

Hey, hang on Vince Could it be one of them there fighter planes Saab make? We had better be careful or we might get blasted

my experience with diesels is limited , my understanding of them was to sit until a said glow plug light goes out , then crank the engine .What i'm saying is my surf starts like a petrol motor , no waiting at all , not even on a cold morning .Sorry i can't cite an engine for you , maybe i speak of ' direct injection ' if that's the term they use .

SAAB = Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget (Swedish Aeroplane Ltd.)
"Scania" = Skåne = province in Southern Sweden.

SAAB bought/merged with Scania-Vabis a few decades ago, but when GM bought SAAB, they only bought the car part of the business.
Scania, the aircraft division and the weapons division were not part of the deal.

I have to agree my 3rd Gen starts just the same turn the key coil light goes out straight away only seen it before on a Challenger the slower the light indicated Glow-plug faults (according to the Mitsi garage)
