Default Very cold weather start

My 2002 E320 cdi estate has been sitting, exposed in temperatures of -2 to -8 for the last ten days, is there anything I should do before I start the engine, I did have the oil changed recently, I'm afraid the water in the Radiator & fluid pipelines may be frozen,
Many thanks,
paulmisty

I was going to suggest you put on the seat belt.
