My 85 SD, was in the garage with the driver door left ajar, and interior lights on---Battery was dead.

So when the Diesels are down ---- The Rover steps up --- Rover hasn't been cranked in a couple of weeks ---- She fired right up, turned on the heated seats, tuned in the '70's' channel on Sirius Satelite Radio and off we went......
Came back home around 12:50 today -- Temp was 20 degrees, Thought I'd give the 83 300D another try even though I didn't have high hopes as where she's parked gets no sun...but on the 3rd attempt, with a little work the ol' girl fired up! I allowed her to warm up, then took her for a dose of fuel and added E-Zoil DieselAid fuel conditioner...Drove around for a while to make certain the now treated fuel made it's way thru the system...and now she's parked back safe at home.

It's supposed to get down to 8 degrees tonight with some light wind --- We'll see what tomorrow morning brings. Chance of snow on Sunday --- Not even an "MB Classic" day -- that will be a fun Rover day!
