While I would never own a Mercedes hybrid short of someone gifting me one, the
concept does work well in my opinion. I've driven several midsize Ford hybrids
for several weeks at a time and found them to be very efficient. For a “Point A
to Point B” sort of car, I could see it, just not a highly
Oh -- re-reading what you wrote, you were talking about storing the batteries
themselves.
Yeah they need to be charged to 70-80% and kept from freezing. For long term
storage they might need some kind of battery-minder attached?

There’s a guy in Orlando on FBM who sells a lot of parts, and he had a brand
new, still-in-the-crate, OE batteries for one of these a while back. I think he
wanted $3k-$4k for it, something like that.
If it was NOS, I wonder how well those things handle being stored.

If it's a hybrid will it still (possibly) be able to run on the petrol engine
or do they require a working battery pack to run at all?

My 190D has been starting harder than I like. Its been cold so I attributed it
to that and bought some Power Service.

It got so I'd have to hold onto the go pedal and it'd catch but if I let off
the pedal within 30 seconds it'd die.

Very funny.
Reminds me of the old gorilla joke. A guy is making faces at a gorilla
through the bars of the zoo cage. He sticks out his tongue and gets no
response from gorilla. Then he bares his teeth at the gorilla. Again, no
response. Then the guy pokes his left index finger in his ear. G
Andrew:
The best way to test the glow plug is to preglow and then touch the end of
the glow plug with your finger. If you scream then it is probably working.
If you don't scream, the plug isn't working. The tongue is an even better
indicator if you are really flexible.

Unfortunately, other than the ability to replace fuses and bulbs, I am a
complete electrical dummy. I can replace glow plugs, but not test them,
alas.
I may plug in the block heater to see what effect that has on its ability to
start w/o stalling.

Plugs that measure correctly and that aren't encased in carbon should
start the car as well a new plugs. As plugs age, they will fatigue, but
that is reflected in the current flow characte

Two years ago when mine got bad in the 240D it wouldn't start much below 30F
and that was with about 50% No. 1 fuel. Two were completely bad and one
was barely heating. After four new glow plugs, it stared using #2 as low as
7F with no block heater.
