Downloaded and being read to the kids by mommy as we speak.  Nice app.  Ping me offline as my company does iPad apps for the auto industry.

[diesel_mercedes] love my block heater

 

My 240 auto is my winter car this year due to lack of a Subaru. Its been sitting for a couple of weeks in really cold temps(zero to 20). Had to go to town yesterday, figured on trouble starting it. I plugged in the block heater for 3 hours and it started on the first pop. Wow was I a happy dude. The moral is: for guys in cold country, get a block heater, the car starts just like a warm summer day. If it would be worth shipping I have a 17mm and a 19mm allen needed for this job. My 4-spd took the 17 and the auto took a 19mm. The bummer for the day was I spotted a 3" slit in the side of one of my almost new snow tires, and no I did not get the "road hazard". Max
