Diesels don't bump generally as there is no spark.

 :huh:

Not to argumentitive but I've always found diesels an easy bump start. Dads old T4 used to bump easy even when cold when the starter went!

Where all my moneys went.

 OK I was a bit vague.  How about, totally dead dervs are harder to bump than a totally dead petrol due to the higher compression and need for hot glow plugs.
