Haven't heard of that one on a Benz, but I've had it happen on a Volvo.
If you're lucky maybe it's just stripped the wiper arm. On most

You're lucky my luck is the driver's side went. Replace the whole
wiper transmission. The air intake
Drive over, put a battery in, and start it. I have started many diesels
right up that have not been started in a year or 2. Hell, I have

You may need to pull start the car if possible. Check the brakes before you
pull start. If you can't pull start, have an extra charged battery and a set
of heavy duty jumper cables along because you will probably need to start it
for a longer time. Glow for 2 or 3 cycles if it won't start
