I hope your '79 240D has the Fast Glow plug kit - you probably wouldn't need
to double cycle it - you'll love it if you don't already have it! Rusty has
them for less than $100 last I checked -
It made a huge difference in my 78!

My 240D starts at 5F with Mobil 1, new glow plugs and starter, 5 year
old Interstate battery with new alternator. I just double glow.

Similar to my thinking when I hear the news report "bitterly cold" for
Boston where it'll be 20. Its always at least 10 degrees colder where I
live 60 miles west. For me bitterly cold starts at 0F.

I used to start my 1977 300D without a heater. My record is 14F above

keep a
battery charger on the battery. If choosing between the two, a warm
battery
is more valuable than a warm block. The glow plugs will take the
same hit
from the battery regardless and extreme cold saps most of your
battery's
energy.
Thanks,
Bring your charger and dino oil up here where you can really give it
a run for your money. 14F, childs play!! That's about where I switch
to long sleeves. Make sure you top off exit 15 or further North so
you get enough kero into her.
