Hi all

My vans starter motor has Died, spins but does not engage, it was making a horrible noise starting, so I guess the teth on the spindle have disintergrated. I was going to fit the starter motor myself, but i gotta jack up parts of the car and disconnect loads of different things, far to much like hardwork, what i want to know is that as the electrics are fine, (pre warming etc) and I live at the top of a hill, can I bump start it. I know people say you cant bump start diesels, but willl I get away with it?
