it was bringing a load of different codes up but his diagnostic machine wasn't showing up the ecu on it and it wouldn't start but then when it did show up the car started and that's what he's baseing it on!!!

Multiple disparate systems impacted sounds like an earth problem.
In theory it could also be a CAN bus issue but I would expect diagnostics to catch that and log it.
It may also be an issue with the Electronic Ignition Switch (EIS) as that is also the CAN gateway to the rest of the vehicle.
It really needs putting on MB STAR by someone who is experienced with MBs.
You don't say where you are - there are several MB specialists we could recommend if we knew where you were based.
