My MB's have always had problems starting in the cold weather, somthimes to the point where the battery wants to die. does anyone have any good tips for getting it started n those cold mornings, or just get my starter motor reconditioned.
I didnt want to open a new topic- but does anyone have an aftermarket alternator in the MB???

try start ya bastard.... or get it reconditoned its is only about 80-100
Also check the earth and power leads to the gearbox/starter for good connection. Then check voltage across your battery when you're cranking it, it shouldn't drop below 10v.
An MB should be no harder to start at -10 than +30.
