I have a 240D and based on some help from this forum I've found it consistantly starts (provided battery is up to snuff). First open decompression switch and spin engine over to get oil around the cylinders. Make sure TS has diesel in the little reservoir and hold ignition on TS for 30 seconds. With clutch in and throttle at detente turn immediately to start. Using this procedure (given me from contributors to this forum)mine has started up to -20 deg. Oh yeah I also have a magnetic heater on the side of the block for 30 minutes. Yanmars seem to be cold blooded machines. I'm just outside Toronto and we got going this morning at -15. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
