Hey, everyone. I hope everybody is safe during these tough times.
My dad's w210 cranks, but won't start. It started to crank a little more everytime we'd give it time and turn the key, but we were scared of breaking something so we stopped and decided to go out and buy jumper cables. But we couldn't find any longer than two meters here in India, so my dad was kinda thinking about making our own- we could find some thick gauge wires and get alligator clips and make it ourselves, at least the standard 12 feet length... Something I wouldn't be concerned about making and using on my Hyundai, but I don't know how this would affect the Merc's electronics. Some of the reviews say that the jumper cables are copper coated aluminium; I don't know if that's a good thing or if a full copper wire is better. Does anybody have some advice or experience with this scenario? Thanks in advance. Stay safe.
P.S: The wire quality will be good, if that's a concern.
