Last winter my wife’s 1980 300D didn’t like to start in cold weather unless it had been plugged in, and there are no options for plugging it in at her work. All last winter my wife lamented almost daily the inability to drive her ‘baby’, and being forced to drive the Jeep. So, following the advice of this list, I was able to diagnose and then over the summer replace the glow plugs, injectors, and perform a valve adjustment. What a difference! This past week the car spent 3 days outside with low temps in the 20’s. Hopped in, cycled the glow plugs once, and she started right up. Not a bit of hesitation. While we don’t normally drive this car in the winter to avoid the road salt, it’s good to know she’s available on the dry days. The wife is very happy and you know the old saying. Thanks guys!!
