The battery in my Mercedes 240D is a nice size, I remember having a Varta tractor battery in my old Jetta. I'll need to see what I can get away with fitting.

As I recall the main issue is with them (diesel 1588's) being self priming, and you just sit there and turn it over and over 'til the fuel gets pumped forwards.

The head has to come off anyways, so I can inspect the glow plugs then.

And apologies to the OP, all I was pointing out is that sometimes simple is better, though maybe not quite as simple as I had it :D
