Don't forget the valve adjust and 4Oz . of white bottle Diesel Kleen .

Even my clapped out '79 300CD started easily in 40° F temps if I followed the drill closely .

The light bulb is a good idea .

Well, we have dipped into the overnight 30's in the PNW, and I now have graduated from the "one cycle" to the "two cycle" start sequence, and yesterday went to "three cycles."  Did not comprehend fully how pleasant the sunny So. Cal. "one cycle" glow plug sequence was when overnight temps dipped down into the 60's - got spoiled I guess. Have started putting a 100 watt bulb in the engine compartment overnight, and may do the block heater routine if the next 4 months don't get toasty. Guess I may have to re-learn how to drive in the snow again too.
