Maybe just one, at 38 F mine will start easily with one bad GP, but it will miss for a little while. A few weeks ago, my wife drove her 240D with a bad GP for a week before she told me it was starting rough. I would check them before it gets cold.

You can have it! If I had the means I'd spend most of my winters in the Keys or USVI. Christmass is best celebrated on a beach!

I spent a couple of years in Houghton. Beautiful area - wouldn't mind visiting again someday. Do not miss the snow one bit!

Houghton?
Michigan Tech? Were you at school there?
My son says they have about 6" on the ground with more coming. Near blizzard conditions at times.

I picked Kettering in Flint over Mich Tech. One reason was the winters.

At least the plus side to having all this snow is I will be able to get the SD sideways at some amazing speeds.
Snow and a SWB W126 with an open diff is a horrible combo, but man does that thing do a mean doughnut. Thats about it though, but she will slide backwards amazingly well as a fail to climb the hill we live on.

I'm in Charlottesville, VA and it dropped below freezing last night. Needless to say, my car did not start this morning. I have delvac 15w 40 in it right now and the batteries and glow plugs should not be an issue but i can test them out. I'm thinking its the starter but im not sure how to chekc this out. Also I might just put a block heater on it becuase I'm getting tired of not having relaible transportation every time it gets cold outside.
