Finally bought an S55

[Posh Blurke]

Hi all
Looking forward to getting stuck in here.
Just bought a 2002 S55. ALREADY got an ECU fault, water ingress, which I'll post about shortly!
My 1st MB, so please fill me in!

Welcome! You might make my 230 ownership experience seem pathetic....
Only joking! Lovely car and in Wighty’s voice “ pictures ?”

Oh dear....!!!

Hi and welcome. Interesting choice

Thanks
Hopefully not "interesting" in the way Sir Humphrey Applebee said it to the Prime Minister....
"what?! Why?! What's wrong?!"

...the "Posh Blurk" was a nickname given to me when I worked with a lot of chaps from up that way tho'!

Thanks for the welcome everyone... turns out the ECU is OK and on the way back to me. Now the sparky says we need to check the rest...! Wish me luck. Seems water has got into it.

I'm totally new to MB, as I said. I need a garage around Surbiton. I see there's a few near me

Perhaps it’s an SBC type thing - once you’ve used too many you then get restricted!

Yes that's all I've got , with the blue question marks all over the place , what's going on ? At least it's nothing I've done !
