Sources for the 210 Diesel block heater electrical plug?

I'm trying to locate the electrical plug for the block heater on my '98 E300. The dealer wants $130 for part. I'm not particularly interested in paying that kind on money for a stinkin' cord. Adsit claims not to have the plug, but the do have the heater..

Any ideas?

Anyone..? I nice picture of the business end of the cord would be helpful as it looks like custom fabrication is viable.

Confused

FYI:
E300 Turbo Diesel is not a TD = touring wagon.

There is no alternative that I am aware of..


The cord is

The heat element and cord is

Roger that. Thanks for the "TD" education. I abbreviated the "Turbo Diesel" bit on the trunk. I can't help but think of a 124 300E gasser when I read "E300".

I bought a 250 watt heat pad that I'll be attaching to the oil pan. $70 something from ProHeat. I'll make a installation thread if there is any interest, though it's straightforward enough. I've always had good luck with heat pads on everything from recip. aircraft, to my '49 Farmall Super H. Piece of mind for the mechanically sympathetic, even when educated in lubricants and their abilities.

If it doesn't work, I'll rip the thing off and buy that damn cord.

I like the heat pads as a simple option for the average person = no special tools or training.

That cord is not bad but the 1 for Mercedes comes in a silicone jacket for heat protection
