I have no problem with conserving a nice car but don't tell me you "can't" drive it in the winter, thats lame.
I've been driving diesels for the last 8 years, the newest was an '85, also an '84 and '83 and now a '78 which I'm daily driving right now because my '84 needs a carrier bearing. You COULD drive your car, plug in the block heater and it'll be warm enough to start in an hour or two, synthetic oil would help but is not required, the last winter I drove my '83 I used conventional oil. -Curt Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:59:28 -0600 From: Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] A lost cause?

And, the old diesels do not start like the newer ones when it gets really cold. Double batteries might help but even then, I believe I might have issues that are best avoided.
