Sorry don't know what the difference isbut I have had fuel injector and glow plug problems with my diesel car, and the garage recommended easy start to get it going In the mornings untill they could fit it in.
All fixed now

We use easy start on the tractors when they are playing up - it isn't good for the engine long term but needs must some times.
Never heard of cold start -is it just a different brand name for the same thing?

Looking on eBay I have discovered that there is a Damp Start too!

Engines very quickly become "addicted" to these or so my OH (the one who knows all!!) and does not recommend them.

Yes, as above poster^^^^^once you start using this, it is then on the slippery downwards slope. Soon it will demand a snort even on warm days. Be warned, you will end up with a drug addictive lorry!! I know, i had one.......

Easy start, but as horsesforcourses states it's a slippery slope you're on
