Nate,
Sure Spring will come, though we haven't started Winter yet.
That's next week.
I'm getting ready for my trip to the Sierras, where it will be cold, so my MB is all winterized.
I also have extra glow plugs, just in case...

Re : Serious Cold Wx. Starting Drill Posted by: "Nate" vwnate1@yahoo.com vwnate1 Date: Thu Dec 15, 2011 1:35 pm ((PST)) O.K. Caitlin ; Just pop the hood after shut down and disconnect the _negative_ battery cable clamp , then in the morning it'll have plenty to get you fired up . This was a mandatory thing when I lived in New Hampshire in the 1960's & we had mostly crappy old worn out 6 volt vehicles , even the clock would run the battery down too far to start reliably in deepest winter . Just remember : DO NOT allow any fool to spray ether (starting fluid) anywhere near your precious Mercedes as it WILL kill the engine ! . Next time I remind you to have the valves adjusted & do the Diesel Purge & thin hot oil & filter change in August or September , I'm betting you'll listen . At this point ,it's prolly $ well spent to have your local Indie M-B Garage do it , you can prolly hang around & drink coffee while they do it , takes a few hours in the cold though . Keep the faith ! Spring *is* coming . -Nate Caitlin wrote:
