Dunno about the rest of the world but here in OZ the Lada Niva from Russia (sold here in the 80's from memory) had a spot to put your trusty crank handle for those emergency crank starts. Probably not a bad idea if one is trying to start one in the middle of a Siberian winter. |

I don't know if I would have the strength to try and start one by hand in a Siberian winter. I'd probably need a few of these before cranking. :coffee: Do you recall how many cyclinders they had/have? Bernd |
| jatt:
4 cyl. One still sees the odd one driving around down here in OZ and the odd add in the paper. They copped a real bum rep here over reliability issues. To the best of my knowledge they stopped importing them into OZ years ago, however I hear the Ruskies were still making them as of 2007. |

20 years ago we rented a car in OZ that came with a crank handle for emergency starts. I forgot what it was now though. |
