2001 c class cdi elegance
car wont start
Hi, i have a 2001 c class cdi and i got into it this morning and tried starting it. all i got was dashboard lights with no faults. the battery is ok and all lights seem fine. its been very cold lately with snow but i don't know if that would make a difference?

Locate the starter, back of the engine, get a piece of pipe, and bang on it,
gently but firmly a few times.
If it starts, your starter is on the way out.
Brushes.You can get away with the pipe trick temporarily until
you can get to the repair.
