Cold Start 3ltr Mercedes W124 e300D Estate First Time In 2 years S124 Old Diesel Engine Merc Veg Oil

I have owned this old barge nicknamed "The Bismarck" for a good few years now. Runs great in the summer months on a 50/50 diesel WVO mix in the tank, which does help the wallet while feeding the greedy 3ltr that lurks under the bonnet. In 2017 we went on a Grand Tour of Scotland including the Western Isles, racking up the miles over a month long road trip with the smell of chips pouring from the exhaust and she never missed a beat. Gave her a quick valet before attempting to start her up and move her from her 2 year hibernation...

Did she fire straight up?

Of course she did !
